Heathrow Pause

[Peterdev]

I see the protestors who are a splinter group from Extinction Rebellion are taking action with drones at LHR to prevent flights.
The threat is life sentences if it is found they’ve endangered life.
Large police presence at LHR.
Not sure what the answer is to these protests, but this will likely cause massive disruption to the U.K.

Heathrow drone protest: Two held over climate change action

The climate change activists were arrested as the airport confirmed flights were not being affected.

Two arrested. Lock them up for 30+ years, won`t be any more being so stupid.
Ironically just two days after the anniversary of the damage planes can cause.

It seems to have had very little effect whatsoever.

"Since Thursday, a total of three women and six men, aged between their 20s and 60s, have been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit a public nuisance."

Some were preemptive arrests I do believe after they posted their intentions on "social media".

Maybe lock them up for their own safety if they openly advertised doing it!

Not convinced that posting stuff like that on social media needs a 30+ year sentence though

Hanging's too good for them.

will they be banned from attending any airports and have to report with passport to local police on days there are flights
