Flashmob at Heathrow Terminal 5 against expansion of the airport and building a third runway, John Stewart with t-shirt & brolly
Following the government decision to press ahead with airport expansion and build a third runway at Heathrow despite the environmental consequences announced earlier in the week, several hundred people turned up at Terminal 5 for a 'flashmob' protest at 12 noon on Saturday 17 Jan, 2009. Attracting most press attention were four brave young ladies who had saved the ten quid for a red 'STOP AIRPORT EXPANSION' t-shirt and instead opted for red body paint with a black message across their midriffs, 'Simply No Slaughter' and a pair of strategically placed gold sticking plasters proclaiming 'art' and 'port' (port was indeed on the left.) Among them were many of the locals who have led the long term opposition to the project, from the protest group NoTRAG the No Third Runway Action Group. Many of them will lose their homes if the runway goes ahead.
