Bikes against Bulldozers Heathrow lie-in
Heathrow, London. Sun 8 Dec 2019
People lie in front of the digger shovel
in a long line
Police have joined the stewards to protect them from the traffic which
is still flowing past on the outside lane
The people with the banner are now in the inside lane
Christine Taylor is called to the microphone and gets up from where
she has been lying with a few local
protesters
But there is a small change of plan. People have got cold on the ground,
and they are told to get up and dance to some music from the sound
system to get warm again
and up they get
with some dancing rather more energetically than others
but moving around is the best way to get warm
Then it's time for more speeches
and people stop to listen
As Christine Taylor speaks. She is wearing a t-shirt against Heathrow
expansion from the 'No Third Runway'
campaign. The t-shirt is from 2002 and the battle was won in 2010.
But Heathrow came back with the
Davies report, set up as a supposedly independent inquiry which backed
expansion in 2015.
The protest came to an end and I left as people were being told ways to
get back to London
