This is yet another stoppage of a high-profile UK sporting event caused by Just Stop Oil activists this year.

CLIMATE ACTIVISTS DISRUPTED a tennis game at Wimbledon this afternoon by running onto the court and throwing what appeared to be confetti onto the grass.

The group has also disrupted the English Premiership rugby final, World Snooker Championship and most recently an Ashes cricket game. Wimbledon also tweeted giving details about the court invasion, saying the individuals had been arrested and removed from the grounds of the All England Club. “Play on the court was temporarily paused and, following a suspension in play due to a rain delay, play is about to resume.”
