Oh dear its obviously the tobacco & paper in the number 6s and the co2 in the carling served at the interval that is upsetting them.

Complete Tw@ts and he should be made to pay for a new table as well as whatever penalties can be applied

One went for the other table but was tackled by the ref - well done that man.

They didn't show it live but the compere (in full immaculate 3-piece suit) was frantically hoovering the paint off the table in an attempt to get play resumed which is quite nice.

The headline really should be "something exciting happens at world snooker championships"

"and for those of you who are watching in black and white, the pink is next to the orange"

Was the paint oil based?

Should be an absolute no brainer to charge them for repairs. Whatever their cause, noble or not, you simply cannot go around damaging stuff and not being responsible. Costs of interruptions to the event, tickets etc is questionable (well not really IMO) but direct cost or repairs, cleaning up etc has got to sit with the protester. It blows my mind that these people can turn up, cause damage and then just walk away from it. They keep getting let off whatever they do but this is criminal damage plain and simple.

They can do what they want, but they've got to bear the cost surely. Madness.

agree completely. Follow it up with house arrest on tag where they turn off all the utilities let them experience caveman living.

We should ban all protesting, because it upsets people too much.

Is that the solution?

Do we lock up the lunatics that are going mental over a Welsh name being used?
What about the ones that protest outside asylum centres?

No but we should punish those who cause criminal damage and prevent it happening again. That is what the law exists for.

If they dressed up as flames or extinct animals and danced across Trafalgar square they would get enough column inches.

Nope. They've absolutely got the right to protest whatever the topic. There is a grey area about disruption and inconvenience but there is a very clear line about crossing in to illegality. They can do what they want but they have to be held to the same laws everyone else does. Right to protest, of course. Criminal damage, absolutely not.
