Heathrow puts up legal barricades to keep away protesters If you're a
member of the National Trust, the RSPB, the Woodland Trust
or Friends of the Earth, then you could be banned from Britain's
biggest airport. And the Piccadilly line. And parts of Paddington
station. And sections of the M4. All because the authorities want to
halt a protest against climate change...

About time, IMHO these minority pressure groups cause more trouble than
they are worth.

You obviously do not live anywhere near heathrow, so you would not be
pestered every minute by a noise wagon flying over your house, so you
have
to stop talking, or listening to the TV or radio, just so some overpaid
sods
just increase their wage packets regardless of the impact upon ordinary
people.

The whole bloody airport should be shut down.


What year did you buy your house?

1966, but the airport was relatively small at that time, and aircraft were
not flying in and out every minute!


In the early sixties I used to fly between London from Glasgow in the
old turbo prop planes - I can't remember what they were called; I
think it began with a "B" and thereafter on Tridents. At that time
the airport was very small. Did it not only have 2 terminals one for
domestic and the other international? And double decker buses with
small baggage trailers used to ferry passengers into Central London
(Victoria, if I remember correctly)

Seems light years ago.

All truth passes through three stages:
First, it is ridiculed;
Second, it is violently opposed; and
Third, it is accepted as self-evident.
