Scully Posted April 17, 2023 Report Share Posted April 17, 2023 Watching the snooker and some protestors ( Just Stop Oil I believe ) have brought the session to a halt. What gives anyone the right to think they have the right to interfere with the lives of others going about their legal business? Boils my urine!

One never made it to the table, the other's T-shirt was so creased you couldn't actually read what it actually said. It was really very pathetic. And annoying. Idiots. I can't believe they genuinely think this is actually going to endear themselves to anyone. I could see a point to it if it was motor racing, but snooker? Really? What a pair of spanners.

Very good, but imagine them running out at a motor racing event and getting ran over, or the crowd getting hold of them Not much chance of the snooker audience turning ugly.

This is adding more weight to the government banning all protests. Then we all will be in a right pickle 17 minutes ago, Vince Green said: The protestors have no self doubt.

There is a reluctance to send anyone to prison. More is the pity. And how many people who receive fines actually pay them? Not many, because there is nobody to chase them up they just ignore the fine and get away with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Neal Posted April 17, 2023 Report Share Posted April 17, 2023 It was a very pathetic display. However, the objective was achieved: they disrupted a major televised sporting event and got their name credited with the act. As much as it pains to say so, they will have won themselves a few more sheep as followers no doubt. I'm wondering if snooker has attracted this protest because they've switched title sponsor of the world champs to Cazoo? A firm that deals in nasty cars with their nasty oil etc etc.... ? You never got this with BetFred! Maybe this will be a one-off sponsorship. There isn't a Just Stop Betting is there?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted April 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2023 It’s just the arrogance of these people; that empty headed belief that they believe they have the right to disrupt the lives and vandalise the property of others. Those that puncture or deflate tyres belonging to the owners of 4x4’s, or superglue themselves to roads etc. It enrages me, it really does. 8 minutes ago, London Best said: I suggest crippling!

The right to peaceful protest is fine, this is not peaceful it is criminal, and when you commit a criminal act you should expect punisment as laid out in the law.

Scully Posted April 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2023 I’m assuming those who protested travelled there by foot? It would be interesting to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when the corrupt politicians remove your right to protest, as they almost certainly will, will you still be in favour of punishment for those that illegally protest? Legality means nothing if crooks make laws. Edited April 18, 2023 by Smudger687 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legality means nothing if crooks make laws. So you are happy with protests like sabs where people have been attacked, and i take it you are happy with the may day protests where property is damaged, buildings defaced,windows shattered ,fires started. Peaceful protest is fine,but once you decide that you can break a "little law" to get noticed where do you stop? Do you agree with the protest at the snooker? it was aggravated trespass, criminal damage, and if you do agree with it would you object with a protest on land you were shooting at where they sprayed you and your vehicle with paint? or destroyed your decoys and hide? or perhaps you would just stand back and allow a protest at a clay ground you were at where they destroy the clay machines and spray paint all over the place. Or how about accepting that peta have a right to scratch your car and puncture the tyres, smash the windows in protest about you being a shooter, do you think that would be ok?

oldypigeonpopper Posted April 18, 2023 Report Share Posted April 18, 2023 (edited) Hello, I always think when I see all these protestors , are they working or unemployed ?? If they are arrested and charged they should be fined and made to pay for the police costs like those on motor ways and the grand national, 🤔 Edited April 18, 2023 by oldypigeonpopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welsh1 Posted April 18, 2023 Report Share Posted April 18, 2023 On another note , i check Local Exhaust Ventilation systems reports (LEV) and one of the big things is the effect that fine dust is having on lungs, and looking at that cloud of dust travelling through the air i feel sorry for anyone who has breathed it in.
