‘We did it for everyone’: Climate protestors spared jail for Barclays windows smashing. Extinction Rebellion activists who caused £100,000 of damage by smashing windows of a Barclays bank in London have been spared jail – as a protestor called the violent stunt a ‘message of love’. Zoe Cohen, 52, said she tried 40 years of lawful action with no result while speaking from a pink lectern outside Southwark Crown Court. She was sentenced alongside five other women after being convicted of criminal damage for smashing the windows of the bank’s London headquarters on April 7 last year. During the sentence, Judge David Milne called the protest at Barclays a ‘stunt’ and a ‘gimmick’ and said smashing their windows is not going to stop climate change.
