Extinction Rebellion threaten Heathrow 13 September

I read yesterday that they were planning this and were going to sit across the departure gate to prevent passengers boarding. It would have been such a shame if I had been travelling in my pointiest stilletos and I accidentally trod somewhere painful. I am sooo clumsy... 😏

👠👠👠👠😮😮😮, I was just saying to my eldest daughter about this, she's off to tenerife soon and said if her flight was held up by protests she would seriously flip her lid... She's a moody mare so I dread to think how they'd suffer 😉😉

Ironically enough, XR have paid for this holiday anyway through all the overtime i earnt when they first came out. So its their fault that i'll be driving a 3l diesel X5 from NW Kent to Provence

Oh I love the irony of your last sentence!

BBC R4 asked ER organiser Rupert Reid to take part in a studio discussion this morning. He refused because BBC had invited a guest with opposing views to his.
He was in school with Boris apparently.
Appeared on BBC Politics Live where with tear filled eyes he rolled up his sleeve, revealing the names of his nieces scrawled in what looked like red lipstick. If he is arrested at the protest he will tell Police he's doing it for them.
When asked their age he said one is about ten, the other in their teens.

BBC Nick Watt was on the Dublin plane tweeting a report of the incident. Pilot had to refuel the plane.

ER now blocking Docklands Light Railway front entrance with a sit down. Everybody is just using the other entrance 20m away.

ER looking more like Keystone Cops every day.

There is more than one DLR stop in the area. For example if you are staying at the travelodge you could walk to the pontoon dock station which would avoid LCY airport (assuming the tree huggers havent stopped the dlr!)

Thank you. We are staying at the Hampton by Hilton so are about halfway between Prince Regent and Prince Albert. We have stayed there before and stayed at the Aloft at Excel/Prince Regent quite a lot. Quite like staying up that way as its just a bit quieter and so easy to get in and out of Bank or Tower Gateway. It's the numpties stopping the DLR from running altogether that I am a bit worried about.
