Save our planet from excessive air pollution...
Climate change activists have disrupted flights at Heathrow
Airport after cutting through a fence and getting on to a runway.
A
video posted online appeared to show several activists chained together and
being spoken to by police officers.
In the footage, an officer told them: "As a consequence
of you being here, you are causing severe disruption and it will be in the
millions of pounds because
it will take us a while to remove you.
"The cost will be in the couple of millions. The
airport will attempt to make a civil recovery."
The Met Police said the protesters had chained themselves
together using a tripod which they had assembled themselves.
The Airports Commission said Heathrow was best placed to
provide "urgently required" capacity, but environmentalists warned
building a new runway there would make it harder to reduce air pollution and
climate change emissions.
