"It is probably the action I am most pleased to have been associated with," says Parfitt, who is a member of an activist group called Christian Climate Action. "The connection between what we did and the cause of the protest was so direct. That week the High Court found the government was breaking the law over its inadequate climate policies. It was fitting to be standing by the foundational document of our constitution, which says that the government is not above the law."
The National Museum Directors' Council, in an open letter, expressed, 'While we respect the right for people to protest, and are often sympathetic to the cause, these attacks have to stop.' They highlighted that such actions are "hugely damaging to the reputation of UK museums and cause enormous stress for colleagues at every level of an organisation, along with visitors who now no longer feel safe visiting the nation's finest museums and galleries."
