Definitely not something a corrupt person would say.

You're assuming that they scouted this and carefully planned it to ensure they wouldn't cause damage. I doubt that.

Seems like they did:

The canvas of the painting is protected with a glass screen, a factor Just Stop Oil said they had taken into account.

The headline reads like an onion article.

None of this is surprising but it's good to get the names of these people. This sort of shit rambling about elites works in the US and UK, so of course it works here too.

While its true that there are open-access journals and conferences without such costs

To publish open access normally costs upwards of $3k USD as well. There's practically no point in the publishing chain where academics aren't getting screwed.
