Revealed: Eco zealot who tied his NECK to goalpost during Everton v Newcastle game is Insulate Britain nut, 21, who was locked up for three months for causing motorway chaos

An eco-zealot who strapped himself to a goalpost during the Everton versus Newcastle football match last night is an Insulate Britain protester who bragged about being welcomed in prison.

Louis McKechnie stormed the pitch half way through the Premier League bout and zip-tied himself to the woodwork wearing a bright orange t-shirt saying: 'Just stop oil.'

The 21-year-old halted play for seven minutes before the stadium's staff prised him free with a huge pair of bolt cutters and hauled him off the pitch.

Ahead of the latest climate stunt to hit the UK, he released a rambling video trying to justify himself, claiming 'as many people as possible need to know what a possible future holds'.
