Arthur Shilling (1941-1986)

Born on the Rama Reserve, near Orillia, Ontario into an Ojibwa family of thirteen children, Shilling started drawing as a small child and later carved wooden totem poles. Using oil on canvas, he depicted life on the Rama Reserve, where, eventually he built an art gallery to encourage local talent

His life is documented in the film The Beauty of My People (1978).

Very interesting.

> he and another protester used a glass-break hammer and orange paint to damage 16 pump screens at an Esso petrol station

...

> Dr Hart has been both acquitted and convicted multiple times for nonviolent direct action linked to the climate crisis

I would be curious to know more about his previous convictions, and whether or not (and if so, how) they influenced sentencing by the judge, and the decision by the GMC to suspend him for 12 months.

I hope he took advice from his medical defence union or similar before this particular act.

I can think of many, many ways he could potentially act that would be wildly more sustainable (forgive my use of the word; I mean merely that they might avoid his being imprisoned), and fantastically more damaging to oil extraction, than his chosen course of action. I lament that no one provided him with more constructive discussion before he embarked on these particular acts.

bird.makeupPolitics UKJust Stop Oil will have a final protest on Parliament square on April 26 before building a “new resistance” They said: “Three years after bursting on the scene in a blaze of orange, at the end of April we will be hanging up the hi vis.  “Just Stop Oil’s initial demand to end new oil and gas is now government policy, making us one of the most successful civil resistance campaigns in recent history. We’ve kept over 4.4 billion barrels of oil in the ground and the courts have ruled new oil and gas licences unlawful. “So it is the end of soup on Van Goghs, cornstarch on Stonehenge and slow marching in the streets. But it is not the end of trials, of tagging and surveillance, of fines, probation and years in prison. We have exposed the corruption at the heart of our legal system, which protects those causing death and destruction while prosecuting those seeking to minimize harm. Just Stop Oil will continue to tell the truth in the courts, speak out for our political prisoners and call out the UK’s oppressive anti-protest laws. We continue to rely on small donations from the public to make this happen.  “This is not the end of civil resistance. Governments everywhere are retreating from doing what is needed to protect us from the consequences of unchecked fossil fuel burning. As we head towards 2°C of global heating by the 2030s, the science is clear: billions of people will have to move or die and the global economy is going to collapse. This is unavoidable. We have been betrayed by a morally bankrupt political class. “As corporations and billionaires corrupt political systems across the world, we need a different approach. We are creating a new strategy, to face this reality and to carry our responsibilities at this time. Nothing short of a revolution is going to protect us from the coming storms. “We are calling on everyone who wants to be a part of building the new resistance to join us for the final Just Stop Oil action in Parliament Square on April 26th. See you on the streets.”

from Wendell Berry

"It’s mighty hard right now to think of anything that’s precious that isn’t endangered. There are no sacred and unsacred places; there are only sacred and desecrated places. There is no justification for the permanent destruction of the world. My belief is that the world and our life in it are conditional gifts. We have the world to live in, and the use of it to live from, on the condition that we will take good care of it. To take good care of it we have to know it, and we have to know how to take care of it. And to be willing to take care of it, we have to love it. "
