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’.

  1. Ok so say it goes their way. We stop oil. Then, thwy be like "Why everything gotta be so expensive" well there is a reason why we dont stop oil just like that

  2. When will these people come to their senses? There is no climate emergency.
    All the scientific evidence, the historic records, the archeology, the ice core samples, and so much more, indicates that the current global warming period is a short-term natural event which occurs regularly on a well-known cycle. It is nothing new. The only "evidence" for a "climate catastrophe" is a handful of very dubious computer models, none of which take into account the historic evidence or the many powerful natural forces that we know have a huge influence on the climate. The tiny 0.02% increase in CO2 is insignificant when the far more significant natural forces are taken into account. Far from being a problem, the tiny increase in CO2 is actually greening the planet…

  3. The earth is in a CO2 drought. I do everything I can to increase CO2 output as everyone should. Do your part to make our planet greener and more comfortable. Consider driving somewhere just for the heck of it. It's really that easy.

  4. Just Stop Oil is very interesting. I actually think they’re real intentions are the opposite, because if you really wanted people to get behind “just stop oil” you wouldn’t make yourself appear as hatable and unreasonable as possible
