That is pretty tragic, to be honest. A bizarre thing to do.

I wonder what the carbon footprint of a protester being arrested, processed, summoned to a court appearance and a stay at her majesty's pleasure.

Not to mention the carbon footprint of driving from Exeter. Couldn’t they source local protesters ��

El Reg had a good write up of the situation.



The group announced at the end of August that they were planning to disrupt the airport – one of the world’s busiest – this coming Friday and would meet with the police and airport authorities to discuss their plan. On Tuesday, they reiterated that plan, stating that they were prepared to go to jail to carry out the action.
