For the third time in as many weeks, campaigners protested at King’s College London, calling for immediate divestment from fossil fuels.

The protest has grown from one to eight to nearly twenty people, with further even bigger actions planned.

Students decorated the front of the Strand campus with posters and banners, as well as painting coloured dots (asking the institution to ‘join the dots’ between the excellent climate research and green credentials it aspires to, and the investments it still retains in climate changing fossil fuels).

Police were in attendance but no arrests were made – the paint used was water-based, and at the end of the action protesters began to clean the listed building but were asked to let staff take over.

Organiser, Roger Hallam is on a protest fast after being suspended from his PhD. There is a petition for his reinstatement at https://www.change.org/p/kings-college-remove-suspension-and-charges-from-king-s-college-climate-emergency-activists
