  1. What an absolute bunch of job worths. All those people paid for hotels, tickets etc – now at risk of being wasted due to some idiots thinking that is the right course of action. For what? I’ve forgotten the reason behind the motorway protests now, been far too many different groups and any empathy with their causes was lost ages ago. Prison for max time as possible, reeducation and they can pay back the honest people they might lose money on this. We need to stamp down harder on all this

  2. If this doesn’t convince our politicians to seek out policies that ween us off our oil dependency, nothing will.

  3. Love the bloke shouting “FUCKING PRICK” the moment he jumps onto the table.

    I want them to try this at the darts next, they won’t leave the building alive

  4. Now if they really want to cause a commotion, there should be a third and fourth person sat waiting in the audience.

    Just seems a bit of a waste to be doing this to events that aren’t front and centre sponsored by Shell, BP, etc. Do they gate crash their parties and it just doesn’t make the news? Or do they not want to do that because they’d rather annoy the public?

  5. Ah yes, fucking over the paying public rather than the lawmakers who actually have the power to affect policy. That should get people onside.

  6. I’m going to throw some puppies into the blades of a wind farm turbine. Simultaneously protesting against animal cruelty and fossil fuels.

    That’ll get people talking.

  7. This is a fantastic way of alienating your cause. These stunts are only successful in making people less inclined to take scientific studies about climate change seriously.

    This is doing much more damage to combating climate change, I’m all for spreading awareness, but this is just the wrong way to do it.

  8. Does snooker have a strong correlation with oil? Is the black ball just a solid sphere of oil? Sorry I’m just trying to understand the motivation.

  9. Worst act of vandalism the sport has seen since I tried to play pool after drinking four pints on Saturday night.

  10. Why’d they jump in with massive bags of watsits? What’s this accomplishing other than making them look like prats? (Kind of) serious question

  11. Remember this is the same group that protested and occupied a sunflower oil factory.

    ​

    Also does anyone else think an orange baized snooker table would look pretty nifty?

  12. Sorry I read the article and I still don’t understand why protesters are disrupting a snooker game, what has the snooker industry done to warrant climate responses
