MOSCOW, Mar 18 The environmental activist who tied himself to the counter with a plastic tie gate during the English Championship match between Everton and Newcastle, protested against UK investment in the extraction and development of fossil fuels. Everton beat Newcastle in the match of the 20th round with a score of 1:0. A fan staged an action at the beginning of the second half, due to which 14 minutes had to be added to the main game time. «It's 2022 and it's time to look ahead, it's time to act, and not stand aside. It's time to act like it's an emergency «, — said in a statement of the Just Stop Oil movement on Twitter, of which the fan who organized the action is a member. When the activist was untied from the gate, he was hit by another fan, who also managed to break into the field.
