Heathrow Airport Protestors On Parliment Building Roof

Several Heathrow Airport protestors have climbed on the roof of parliment protesting against plans for a third runway at Heathrow Airport.

Police believe that they may have been helped by somebody on the inside as they would have found it very difficult to have reached the roof unaided. The protest began at around 9.45am and the protestors unfurled two huge banners which were dropped over the front of the parliment building.

The protestors threw paper aeroplanes from the roof and Police had to use bolt cutters to get them off the roof. One of the protestors , Richard George, 27 said "I am stood on the roof of Parliament because the democratic process had been corrupted. The aviation industry had taken full advantage of a weak Prime Minister to get the Heathrow consultation fixed. It does not even consider global warming despite everything [Gordon] Brown has said about the environment and despite the massive impact aviation has on the climate. The Prime Minister does not even have the courage to ask Londoners the simple question: 'Do you want a third runway?'.
