Hi
It is reported that at a recent meeting in Birminham , Just Stop Oil co-founder Indigo Rumbelow was greeted by cheers as she told the audience: 'We are going to continue to resist. We're going to ratchet it up.
Outlining a blueprint for causing travel chaos, she advocated:
● Cutting through fences and gluing themselves to runway tarmac;
● Cycling in circles on runways;
● Climbing on to planes to prevent them from taking off;
● Staging sit-ins at terminals 'day after day' to stop passengers getting inside airports.
Miss Rumbelow told the crowd: 'We're going to be saying to the Government: 'If you're not going to stop the oil, we're going to be doing it for you.''
She cited similar protests to use as inspiration for their action, including Hong Kong students 'gathering in sit-ins in the entrances to airports, closing and disrupting them, day after day' during their protests against Chinese rule in 2019.
The article was discussed in my local, over a pint or two, whilst putting the world to right issues were deliberated in general. Somebody mentioned all they had to do was to purchase some cheap one way tickets to get past security and get close to the runway and planes etc
