“They can f*** off” – Just Stop Oil protesters attempt to disrupt the Gallagher Premiership final

The 2023 Gallagher Premiership final at Twickenham was invaded Just Stop Oil protesters with orange smoke set off on the pitch.

One fan wrote: “They can f*** off”

A third commented: “Watching the Premiership Final on holiday, just switched on in time to see Just Stop Oil making pricks of themselves again. What does fucking everyone off achieve? Your message gets lost, you achieve nothing aside from satisfying an egotistical desire to see yourself on telly.”

Another said: “Completely understand the oil and climate protestors, but disrupting the premiership rugby final (and other previous things like destroying artwork and blocking roads) is not helping. You’re just annoying people when actually you want people to be behind your cause.”

Just Stop Oil said the protesters at Twickenham were a doctor and a construction worker.

A statement read: “Today’s action occurs against a back-drop of more extreme weather events, as increasingly greater carbon concentrations in the atmosphere push us closer to irreversible tipping points, threatening to spin the balance of humanities’ life supports systems out of control.”

For context, that’s a weight drop of over three stone.
