1,000 Animal Rising protesters turning up to ruin the Derby at Epsom. Track has applied for an injunction to ban them or they’ll ruin it but even if they get the injunction (unlikely I’d imagine), it’ll be a nightmare stopping them with Epsom’s course layout. Epsom, unlike Aintree, is an open track and getting on to ruin it will not be that difficult unfortunately. It’s part of a public footpath when racing isn’t on to the side of the course so can be accessed if people want to quite easily. They’ve specifically said today in writing and in a meeting with the course that they plan to turn up and ruin both days by sitting on the track.
So that’ll be another sporting event I’m in attendance that these tw*ts ruin. That’s if I even get there with the now added train strike announced conveniently three days ago. Two days off work, train tickets, race day tickets at £140 a pop per day and it’ll probably end up cancelled anyway because it’s 2023 and nothing I like doing goes without someone sitting in the way trying to ruin it.
I doubt TWTD is the place to moan about this though as, like with the Snooker World Championship last month, the racing isn’t something the majority on here enjoy so it’s ok. They’ll no doubt target a town game soon just to really make me despise them. Protest for protest sake. There’s always something someone somewhere disagrees with and will then protest about and attempt to ruin.
What a depressing time to be a human being. [Post edited 24 May 2023 5:03]

Horse racing is inherently cruel. The point of protest is to annoy upset and discomfort people in order to draw attention to one’s cause. More power to them. |  |

Your final sentence is bang on the money and, thankfully, there are those with the guts and wherewithal to take principled stands against all those things/people that are ruining the planet and serving to make it such a depressing time to be alive
Keep going, Romford, you're this close to finally joining the dots! |  |

Maybe find hobbies that don’t harm animals for gambling purposes. |  | | |

It's not a protest for protests sake, they clearly have a very specific issue with that specific type of event.
It's not the protestors that have the issue here, just like with the snooker post, all the reasons you've given self-centered.
The last sentence is so ironic it's hard to know where to start.

Good on them. Perhaps one day you'll step outside your bubble, Rommers, and actually care about something deeper than gambling and ITFC. Then you might start to understand why these people are protesting and why train staff are striking. [Post edited 24 May 2023 8:02]

One private jet? You had it lucky. Only last night I was planning on travelling around France by aeroplane. But then this.

Protests that have taken place over the years have on the whole made your life prospects and those of millions of others immeasurably better | |

They have wider aims than horse racing. They want to stop all animal farming and fishing. |  |

So it's even less "protest for protests sake" then.
It's protest to achieve some clear and defined aims. Whether you agree with them or not you can't say it's protest for protests sake.

Hopefully Rommers will spare us his long diatribes encouraging gambling but somehow I doubt it. |  |

You will probably be fine Rommy, given that there is advanced notice of the event I imagine that there will be a number of ruddy faced gentlemen with cudgels offering practical reasons to move on. |  |

The same people frothing away saying the same things.

I understand his hurt though after the National and World snooker got cancelled. | |

Not the first time that protests have disrupted major horse racing event.
How would you have felt about this lot screwing up the derby?

Rommers is the only one looking a bit frothy. Everyone else has been pretty measured in their response. | |
