What? Nobody mentioned The Airport!
 

It seem's that a load of unruly thugs invaded an airport today, they caused problems for lot's of law abiding citizens.

Where are the protests?

They broke the law!

Why didn't some pilot take responsibility and bundle them all into his aircraft and then drop them off from a great height at the nearest Police Station?

Or are we talking double standards here?

A little thicko should have the book thrown at him, but middle class tearaways should be praised for their actions?

It's nice all the brats of the Greenham Common women have found a nice hobby.

Re: What? Nobody mentioned The Airport!
 

Yes well, I think life is strange, we have wars and machinery so the carbon footprint for such must be immense!
Where do this latest lot of hippies protest? Outside a civil airport and justify themselves by saying that it was they're parents generation that let them down.

Hang on we didn't know that much about global warming it hadn't been invented yet.

Our generation in the west was busy matching the so called Russian threat of the cold war and building, (and protesting against), nuclear weapons, never mind mind blowing drugs of the sixties hey, let's have paranoia all around.

The generation before our's was fighting a world war against a silly little fascist, they neither had time to worry nor had they even a concept of global warming.

So, O.K. it may be a little late, and if we hadn't been distracted by other things going on, we could have made a perfect world for the protesters.

I for one am knackered, don't blame me, don't blame the other generations, this is now your problem deal with it!

At least you still have a world to live in, with any luck you can make it better for the next generation!

Whenever I see anything like this I just think get a life, the police have enough to do without dealling with tree hugers and save the polar bear brigade:(

Re: What? Nobody mentioned The Airport!

As they are climate change protesters did they all walk there to stage their protest ? Seems odd if they did why a group of 50+ people walking to stansted airport in the middle of the night weren't spotted :D

Also why did they take them away in various buses and police vans, surely as climate change protesters they should have made them walk to the furthest police station from Stansted ;)

Re: What? Nobody mentioned The Airport!
 

Nout like an honest poacher ema, they make great Game Keepers:D

Re: What? Nobody mentioned The Airport!
 

Makes more sense than saving trees and hugging polar bears;)

Re: What? Nobody mentioned The Airport!
 

errm because the Police arrested them

Re: What? Nobody mentioned The Airport!
 

not odd dave, as the perimeter fence is 80 miles long, n stanstead aint the biggest airport, ya would need n army to patrol those fences, n don't nobody mention CCTV, as the watchers are usually asleep or playing cards etc.:rolleyes:

Re: What? Nobody mentioned The Airport!
 

Personally i would give these arrogant middle class ******* 3 yrs, no remission, would be interesting to see if they would Fight the good Fight, after a bit of bird.:rolleyes:

Re: What? Nobody mentioned The Airport!
 

That would serve no purpose Cashy; they would only become martyrs in their time.

Whilst I do not agree with what they did, some desperate action has to be taken to reduce carbon emissions on our planet, otherwise our children are going to face a very bleak future.

This type of demonstration is unlawful (and was dealt with) and inconvenienced and disappointed quite a lot of people .. lots of sob stories here, but they have achieved their goal I feel, and made us more aware of the threat air pollution is handing us.

Wouldn't describe them as ******* myself, just a toss-pot action.

Re: What? Nobody mentioned The Airport!
 

disagree kate most people i talk too do not honestly give a rats about carbon emissions, n as fer being martyrs i think not, apart from the dick head circles they mix in.

Re: What? Nobody mentioned The Airport!
 

Aaaah - so that's all he was after!

Re: What? Nobody mentioned The Airport!
 

We could put a couple of wind turbines in their gardens.. I mean Essex protesters moaning about global warming?:D

Re: What? Nobody mentioned The Airport!
 

Unfortunately, the Polar Bear will be the first one to go Studio .. :(

Re: What? Nobody mentioned The Airport!
 

why unfortunate? lovely animals to look at, most vicious animal around, they don't make good pets.:D

Re: What? Nobody mentioned The Airport!
 

some great creatures have become extinct .. sabre toothed tigers... to lose the polar bear would be a disaster.. a fantastic animal, I can't work out why we get so upset about losing giant pandas?.... they just seem to sit about all day munching on leaves..if they collected benifits they would be slammed as scroungers.... I'd bet that a polar bear would kick the tat out of a giant panda in a scrap!:D

Re: What? Nobody mentioned The Airport!
 

Home or Away match?:hehetable

Re: What? Nobody mentioned The Airport!
 

hang on have to be two legs..if the panda had any left.. and I'd still back the polar bear

Re: What? Nobody mentioned The Airport!
 

Of course the more observant of us will have noticed that carbon emissions have already dropped quite significantly due to certain facts.
We no longer have an industry based economy.
No one can afford gas,petrol or electricity.
Shops are closing at an alarming rate as are Pubs.
And just to prove I am doing my bit I have started putting tips in my roll ups.
The only hot air I can see is coming from the usual do-gooders camp.
At least we have still got the Bankers(hope I spelled that right):hehetable:tongueout

Re: What? Nobody mentioned The Airport!
 

I can,t fathom why we {the 50/60/70s] generation should be accused of not doing our bit to clean up the air pollution problem. As I see it we did the most to clean up the air by changing the fuel we used, eg. north sea gas replacing coal gas and smokeless fuel replacing coal.

Re: What? Nobody mentioned The Airport!
 

When one of the ring leaders was asked why they targeted Britain, which is accountable for 0.8 of the world's pollution, and not somewhere like China, she replied that she'd probably be thrown in jail for a very long time.

Nothing like have principles is there?:rolleyes:

Re: What? Nobody mentioned The Airport!
 

I think the truth is Rindi GB is an easy touch in more ways than one, we're to damn soft that's the trouble

Re: What? Nobody mentioned The Airport!
 

i thought the name of their group was funny when it was on the news, they were interviewing someone and under their name it said 'plane stupid protester' :D

Re: What? Nobody mentioned The Airport!
 

I'd be more inclined to call them "plain stupid protesters" myself:rolleyes:

Re: What? Nobody mentioned The Airport!
 

Seeing as this Stupid lot have actually commited criminal offences, lets hoped they are fined to the same amount that their actions have cost! Here's their website!

Re: What? Nobody mentioned The Airport!
 

None from me, but then I am one of those people in the Aviation industry.
Just a small point, but I do wonder how much extra CO2 was emitted due to Aircraft having to Divert, Go Around and Hold during this demonstration?
I would have thought that the CO2 caused by the disruption would negate any that was saved by the action taken.

There not interested in that BG they're a load of ponces playing silly buggers, as always, daddy wants to find them something to do:o
