'Groom on stag do' stopped by police after friends made him wear Just Stop Oil t-shirt

The stag was made to wear a Just Stop Oil t-shirt at the British Grand Prix at Silverstone last weekend, but maybe his pals went too far

A man who is believed to have been on his stag do was the victim of a horrendous stitch-up after his ‘mates’ made him wear a Just Stop Oil t-shirt to the British Grand Prix at Silverstone this past weekend.

Yeah, that was always destined to end badly, wasn’t it?

Obviously, both the security staff at the Formula 1 event and the police are on high alert at just about everything right now because of the Just Stop Oil protesters, amongst other groups.

The Just Stop Oil protesters got on the track last year.

The group – who are attempting to pressure the government into issuing no further licences for oil and gas extraction or exploration – have made a number of high-profile appearances at events, including the World Snooker Championship, Premier League football games, The Ashes and – most recently – Wimbledon.

They’ve also been blocking off roads and motorways, although they did distance themselves from someone who chucked a load of orange confetti at George Osborne at his wedding recently.

Let’s not forget that they disrupted the same Grand Prix last year, when several people invaded the track whilst the race was ongoing, which doesn’t seem like the cleverest idea.

But, we digress.

This bloke at Silverstone doesn’t appear to have been a member of Just Stop Oil, but seems to have been the victim of an almighty wind-up from his mates, who dressed him in the instantly recognisable orange get-up of the protesters.

A photo of the man in his t-shirt was later shared on Twitter, with a caption reading: “British Grand Prix today.

“It’s this bloke’s stag and his mates have made him wear this.

“Keeps getting stopped by the police.”

It must be a pretty hard one to explain, that.

Let’s hope that the pranksters also brought another shirt for him to change into, because you could easily see the police failing to take the joke and booting him out altogether.

Still, Just Stop Oil were front and centre in the conversation at the Grand Prix, even if they didn’t actually hold a protest.

Mercedes driver, Lewis Hamilton, even passed comment saying he’d support a peaceful protest if one was to happen.

When asked about it, he said: “Yes. I support peaceful protests.”

He then added: “From my perspective, and my team’s perspective, we are focused on sustainability and we believe in what people [the protesters] are fighting for and we are making those changes as a sport,

“But safety is key.

“We don’t want to put them in harm’s way and we don’t want to put anyone else in harm’s way.

“If there was to be one [a protest] we hope it is not on track.

“I’ll always support those standing up for what they believe in, it must be done safely.”
