A bunch of, clearly, deranged people, known as Plane Stupid, invade Heathrow Airport and stop flights coming in and leaving. Yep. Plain Stupid.
They dont want a third runway at Heathrow. I can understand that. Look at their website and its pretty compelling stuff:

Lets say they dont build the third runway at Heathrow....and protesters move them on from Gatwick. Now what?
Boris Island (can anyone come up with a valid, reasonable argument for this plan??) is what. And that would be devastating.
Do we have to have more runway space? Well, if you can talk everyone in this country out of getting on a plane...then no. If UK people are happy to not fly at all, great. Win-win situation for everyone. But the truth is no one will be able to talk anyone out of getting on a plane if they want to. And thats the problem.
And I reckon that even some of these people from Plane Stupid will get on a plane this year. They are not piss poor eco warriors stuck up a tree.
The reality, like it or not, is that the current airports have to take up the slack. If people need to be moved, move them. Pay them off and move them. Thats life.
Looking at that argument from the other side....if you feel affected...then move. Dont complain, just move. If your health, according to you, is suffering, then move. Then your argument will be about money and how much you wont get for your house. So is it about how much money you can get for your house...or are you really concerned about your childs health...or your health....because I know which one it is even if you dont.
I reckon Plane Stupid need to sit down in a meeting of their members and tap in to reality about their lives and how they live them, what they do, what cars they drive, what they waste and throw away, what they buy and where its from.
