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 governmentβs genocidal policies’.

Ah yes, making us hate you would make us join your cause.
I wonder how these people's financial matters are going to fare in their later years….
Disgusting disrespectful shame full
Yeah, that'll stop it.
Our Government seems to struggle to control these perverts. We must ask for Russian military help to restore peace
I think they should do this on a NASCAR track during the Indy 500 π

"just stop oil" and return to the stone age
Ronnie O'Sullivan would have still cleared the table.
The more they do this the more we should just waste oil and wreck the planet. None of us will live to see the repercussions any way π.

This event replaced the guy who farted out loud a while back as the number one incident to liven up the bore-fest which is snooker.
Boo this man π
Probably the most entertaining thing that's ever happened in that room.

The players should have continued playing and aimed the cue sharply against the new balls on the table.

Am I missing something? What's snooker got to do with oil?
superb, took balls to do that
The yellow ball will never be the same again
The Earth needs emissions to fullfill its life cycles. The Earth is a self calibrating, self sustaining bio-sphere and has been since its inception. It does not matter wht you throw at it. Super-volcano's, Asteroids, Techtonic plate upheavels, Comets, Sun's Mini-Nova's, any amount of ELE events, it will natrually self regulate. Incrementaly, or otherwise.
The globalist want a never ending subscription to alternative fuels because they can charge what they want for energy, in a never ending price escalator without having to drill a hole. THis why concsumers in Germany are facing incredible costs for energy, despite subscribing to alternative energy big-time. A never ending war on behalf of the planet, with no end.
Poor middle class rich boy who has never done a days work in his life.TOFF.

Everyone should look into the suffragettes and see what some of the more militant women of that movement did, and it worked. Some suffragettes used tactics like bombing and arson in thier campaigns, and you all are crying over some dust. Seriously open your eyes people.
To all these protesters believing the cause: don't use one anything that needs to get imported if you're against oil consumption / oil dependency. Don't use car ever. Don't use anything that is (in)directly affected, shall it be transportation and/or production. Drop all those quality-of-life improvements if you truly believe in your goal. If you can't do most of those then it's time to give up on this facade. There are better ways to achieve your goals than annoying people.
These are the people who say big words and "protest" against something but in reality, doing little to nothing against it, just like those vegans with big mouths who can't think their cause further. "I'm against climate change and want to save the world by eating plants only." Then they upload videos to their channel how they are eating all sorts of rare vegetables that needs to get imported from far away countries which is affecting the climate change. Nice work.
Rich boy, regular eco offender, chuck him in jail

The CO2 emissions caused by the two protestors travelling to that event probably outweigh the environmental impact of their protest.
