Rosebank

Protesters Remind Labour That Rosebank Is A Sinking Ship

March 20, 2025 The Canary. , , ,
On Wednesday 19 March, campaigners from Fossil Free London staged a Titanic-themed demonstration in Westminster over the Labour Party government’s potential re-approval of the climate-wrecking Rosebank oil field. Campaigners recreated the infamous scene in which lead character Jack Dawson drowns as Rose clings to a door in the sea. They chanted “There’s an iceberg we don’t want to hit! Rosebank is a sinking ship” with a banner reading “Let Go of Rosebank”. This was to draw a creative parallel with the approaching climate emergency and the government’s potential reapproval of the project’s development.

Legal Challenges Against Rosebank Oil Field Given The Green Light

Rosebank will do nothing to lower energy bills, save jobs, or make our energy supply more secure. It will only make billions for oil giants, with the UK public footing the bill through billions in tax breaks. The previous government knew this - and approved the field anyway. We believe that the decision to approve Rosebank was not only a disaster for the climate, and morally and economically wrong, but unlawful.  Claims that drilling Rosebank is compatible with the UK’s obligations and a safe climate doesn't add up - and we will prove it in court. This is now a straight fight between a livable future and oil and gas industry profits. The UK government has already admitted the decision was unlawful.
