Summer chaos at UK airports

[turkeyfoot]

Hi

It is reported that at a recent meeting in Birminham ,  Just Stop Oil co-founder Indigo Rumbelow was greeted by cheers as she told the audience: 'We are going to continue to resist. We're going to ratchet it up.

Outlining a blueprint for causing travel chaos, she advocated:

● Cutting through fences and gluing themselves to runway tarmac;

● Cycling in circles on runways;

● Climbing on to planes to prevent them from taking off;

● Staging sit-ins at terminals 'day after day' to stop passengers getting inside airports.

Miss Rumbelow told the crowd: 'We're going to be saying to the Government: 'If you're not going to stop the oil, we're going to be doing it for you.''

She cited similar protests to use as inspiration for their action, including Hong Kong students 'gathering in sit-ins in the entrances to airports, closing and disrupting them, day after day' during their protests against Chinese rule in 2019.

The article was discussed in my local, over a pint or two, whilst putting the world to right issues were  deliberated in general. Somebody mentioned all they had to do was to purchase some cheap one way tickets to get past security and get close to the runway and planes etc

On the bright side Geoff , if they stop me flying it will stop us falling from the sky in my Ryanair  Boeing 737 🤣

Many arrests on the horizon! Good luck with trying to breach airport airside security and if they are getting all that is coming to them 😂😂😂

I like the above!! - I can imagine the pilot saying to all his passengers......
....." Sorry about the turbulence and bumpy take off, but there was a cylist on the runway"
"He cut across the field but we got him in the end !!!

Talking about airport security reminded me of my first ever visit to Corfu (1972?).
Back then, as you can imagine, it was a fraction of the size it is now.
We were sat on a wall outside, waiting in 'departure' and watching the plane's, when suddenly a chap came running past us, carrying a holdall, onto the tarmac , waving his arms, and ran towards a plane that was heading for the runway.
The plane stopped.
Some lads went running after him - with steps.
The plane door opened, and he got on.

Can't see that happening today somehow lol.

Brilliant !  Those were the days !

I hope they stamped on a few ankles on the way!!!!

and I suppose the logical comment to say to these people are -
"Just think, if you worked for a lving you could afford a holiday as well!!!"

Hi

Tell me do the oil protestors have jobs if so do they go on holiday.And how do they get to the next target to spray orange or sit on a motorway
Bus, coach, car, or do they all use a push bike haha oops sorry just laughed a bit
Do protestors realise to get the cleaners out
When climbing bridges high up the police, fire brigade, Ambulance's are all called out ££££s

A old saying

Cut your nose off to spite your face

It cost £millions lorries late  to get the stock to destination

Oh my God, wot can the police do? - You dare not kick em in the head as that is above and beyond the call off duty. Maybe the police should be issued with hand dusters so they can say...
"Naughty boys , I am going to give you a fluffing!!"

Personally i would kick the s**t out of em. The law is an ass and these orange t***s need a bloody good wake up. - But the police still have to wear slippers.
Tis the law - DONCHYERKNOW?

One of my best mates ex wife is one of this lot. Lovely lady in fairness but is now extreme!
She's a schoolteacher and basically her 'eco job' is to act as an intermediatory between the old bill and any arrested activists.
Some of the stuff I hear about her from her kids is ridiculous ......
