Extinction Rebellion really need to go back to the drawing board
they're worse than useless.
This well ordered and stage managed photo opportunity- sorry, protest- at the British Museum from 2022 shows ER members holding a perfectly rendered BP logo. It consists of a large flower with environmental friendly lime, dark green and sunshine yellow petals and pure white at its dazzling centre. The lettering for BP is bigger than for DROP and if you didn’t know it might mean “drop British Petroleum into your petrol tank!” No blood spatters from animals, Palestinians or Indigenous people. No evidence of failed crops or loss of pollinators for this pretty flower nor any signs of a climate crisis at all.
The heraldic shield
was updated to the new logo
and we’re now meant to believe that the lower case bp stands for ‘beyond petroleum’. Yeah right.
Extinction rebellion are being used to provide publicity and advertising for BP and the British Museum. In 2023 the Museum signed a £50 million contract with BP for their Bloomsbury site refurbishment.
Hey ho!

The world has proven reserves equivalent to 46.6 times its annual consumption levels. This means it has about 47 years of oil left unless oil companies can find more oil. No one know better than the companies themselves whether they can do this so maybe BP is trying to tell us something by updating its logo...
