🚨 UPDATE: Six police cars, one police van, and twenty police officers including A SPECIALIST ARMED UNIT were deployed. ✊ Ruby completely unfazed and calmly says to her friends "don't worry".

💬 Speaking ahead of taking action today, Ruby said: "I'm taking action to call out the hypocrisy of Manchester University, an academic institution which is fundamentally betraying its students. Taking money from oil and gas firms means being complicit in their greenwashing." "This summer we all watched as thousands of Libyans were washed out into the ocean, and fires annihilated life on Maui. Immense suffering is reality now for millions. This is why students across the country are stepping into action and marching with us in November. Sign up at

If I came around to your house and painted it orange I'd get arrested and end up doing at least a community service order. Why is your ilk allowed to get away with stuff like this?

What do you think is happening here? 20 police, including armed response, 6 police cars, and a van. For a protester with paint.

Its time that police knocked on the door of you guys running this website as you appear to be inciting criminal behaviour.

Gordon, mate this isn't our website, you're on twitter 😂

How does vandalizing buildings with toxic chemicals, that are probably washed off into the water supply, help fight climate change?

You need to draw attention to your message by doing some positive acts as well- clearing up litter, cleaning beaches, getting on bikes and offering a shopping service for the elderly. At the moment you're simply coming across as destructive and narcissistic.

Is this Ruby ?
