A note left on a vandalised car accused a driver of being a "piece of climate killing sh**”. The insult was written below another message left on a windscreen, advising drivers how to wash off paint that had been left by climate activists.
Police have confirmed they are investigating 11 reports of damage to vehicles in Clifton this week. High-end SUVs, including a hybrid vehicle, were defaced with messages such as 'climate criminal', 'I cause asthma' and 'this machine kills kids'. Similar incidents of vandalism in Clifton and Stoke Bishop took place in April and May this year.
A Bristol delivery driver who spotted the damaged vehicles in the early hours of Tuesday morning (June 6) said: “I see things going on all through the night. I see all sorts, but I’ve never seen anything like this.”
