Overview
- Organisers say a week of action in April will send 50–100 people to clear out a Waitrose after smaller “take-back” actions slated for March.
- They say seized food would be redistributed to local communities, with further tactics including occupations of luxury shops around Oxford Circus.
- Waitrose said such actions would harm ordinary workers and stressed that partner and customer safety remains its priority.
- The group cites roughly £56,000–£58,000 raised, with funds allocated for training, travel, accommodation, equipment and compensation for participants.
- Earlier stunts at the Tower of London and the Ritz led to four arrests and heightened scrutiny, while co-founder Arthur Clifton—formerly of Just Stop Oil with a criminal-damage conviction—has drawn criticism from Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp.
