      Should’ve glued themselves to the House of Lords, we all would’ve cheered and started a collection for them!

      There’s something very Python-esque about the phrase, “glue themselves to Heathrow airport”

      If we stop oil and also burn all the electric cars and charge points, how are we going to get around?

      My biggest issue is that some rich doughnut has convinced them that they shouldn’t target the wealthy or powerful, but instead inconvenience working people etc. everything seems to be a deflection from focusing on the owning class.

      Convictions for unactioned plans instead of convictions for actions is a little concerning…

      Just make sure it’s water soluble glue.

      Don’t want another superglue incident…

    7. It’s already college girls and their english teacher, why not college boys and their history teacher.

    8. Remember when they were living in a tunnel like little hobbits. Apart from blocking ambulances I am actually on their side but that was funny.

    9. These people are heros and will be seen as such in future history books. If you disagree then it’s your offspring who will have to be embarrassed that they are your descendent.

      I think what annoys me the most about this is that people taking flights are doing it for a reason, whether that’s work, to visit family, to study or go on holiday. All of those reasons are valid. I’m taking my elderly mother on holiday next month and she’d be devastated if our flight and holiday were cancelled because of people like this. This is something she’s been looking forward to for months after being a full time carer for my father. People like this don’t have any empathy despite saying that they care about the planet.
