"Let's Ruin His Life!" Barry Hearn SLAMS Just Stop Oil Snooker Protester With Piers Morgan

Snooker Championships boss Barry Hearn tells Piers Morgan how he plans to deal with the Just Stop Oil powder protester.
Just Stop Oil protesters recently forced a stoppage in play early in the evening session at the World Snooker Championship in Sheffield.
The duo invaded the arena shortly after play began with a man interrupting the match between Robert Milkins and Joe Perry by jumping on the table where he released a packet of orange dye.
Barry Hearn says "This attention-seeking little boy... let's ruin his life and take him to the small claims court as many times as possible."

The protestor is the son of a hedge fund manager - a privileged middle class individual who has never had to work hard for anything - unlike the majority in the audience who had their experience ruined. It's always the same type of people protesting like this too.

Yes always the same types… entitled, woke narcissists!

[@robg521]

Totally agree with Barry’s idea, this was not a protest, it was vandalism. The persons responsible should be dragged through the courts and made to reimburse every single person in that audience, not just the cost of their ticket, but also the cost of the hotels they were staying in, their meals while they were there, and the costs of their travel to and from the event. And while at it… if any of them had to take time off of work to attend they have now lost that time from their holiday allowance so they should be compensated for that too.

[@razor6552]

Make them work it out on a chain gang

first and foremost, before he is dragged through the courts he should have been dragged into the carpark and given a good kicking!

Where were these stop oil protestors in the winter? This is just something spoilt brats do in between dropping out of university and waiting to receive their inheritance; finishing any hard work is not something they are capable of (hence why they dont protest in the winter as its too hard like their work)

[@robg521]

Yep, it’s easy to protest in the nice weather isn’t it, If they were dragged back out again when it’s snow and ice on the ground and superglued to the tarmac, and the public invited to throw buckets of water over them perhaps they would then know what it’s like when your grandma is freezing inside her house because she can’t afford to put the heating on.
