After , it seems we are and .What next – Just Stop Sport? Surely it’s time these green neo-puritans came clean and called themselves Just Stop Fun.
What on earth did that eco-zealot imagine he might achieve by jumping on a snooker table at the world championships in Sheffield, and sprinkling the Crucible baize with orange powder?
Nothing, of course.Irritating protests such as these are clearly not part of any genuine political campaign.
No, they are pure performance, staged to demonstrate the player’s ethical superiority. These actors want to be arrested in order to demonstrate their status as virtuous victims.Their day in court is the encore, applauded all too often by a sympathetic judiciary.
And this is the real irritation.

For the legal system has apparently become a revolving door for chungminhtaichinh green fanatics, who can go from protest to courtroom and back again almost without stopping.
It is little wonder that the eco-activists don’t fear the law.Most judges, lawyers and police are criminally soft on them, acting more like proud parents than disciplinarian authorities. Even if a judge does give them a light rap on the knuckles, it will often be garlanded in praise.
