A female protester was prevented from disrupting the match between Mark Allen and Fan Zhengyi on table two by the quick-thinking response of the referee, Olivier Marteel. On Twitter, Just Stop Oil said it was ‘demanding that the government immediately stop all new UK fossil fuel projects and calling on UK sporting institutions to step into in civil resistance against the government’s genocidal policies’.

They did this because they were too scared to go after the actual oil companies…

Why do you think these acts of vandalism are going to help your case? This only makes your organization disliked by almost everybody. Extremely Counterproductive to your cause
I remember watching this and thinking:You wallies!
Wow that real changed my mind about oil. I’ll move to something more carbon neutral from now on sarcasm
Protesting is so much easier than coming up with solutions.
They're criminals not protesters
The narcissism of these people is limitless
Because as we all know snooker players are responsible for oil pollution.
I used to hate these people. But now I realised in September 24 the temperature was 40 degree Celsius.
