Just Stop Oil protester Eddie Whittingham jumped on the table at the 2023 World Snooker Championship
Wearing a Just Stop Oil T-shirt, the defendant could be seen releasing the orange substance – which he told the court was dyed corn starch powder – and kneeling amid the balls on the table before being pulled off by security. Giving evidence on Friday, Whittingham told the court he bought a ticket about a month before the incident, agreeing that it cost him more than £300 because he wanted to be in a good position in the auditorium.
He agreed that his actions caused inconvenience to those who attended for “peaceful enjoyment” and to the organisers of tournament, who had to abandon play for the day on the table he targeted.
