...there was a blockade of the front doors by an anti-airport NIMBY / lobby group, who I'm told were demanding to hand over an "ASBO" to the airport manager!
"SLAP slaps an ASBO on the Airport.
On the European Day of Action on Aviation, SLAP (Stop Luton Airport Plan) staged a demonstration at the Airport during which children delivered Anti-Social Behaviour Orders (ASBOs) citing noise, pollution and global warming as its main misdemeanours. LADACAN supported the event which was held to coincide with demonstrations against airport expansion at Heathrow, Stansted, Southampton, Aberdeen, and Bristol as well as at airports in Belgium and France"
These people are a pathetic bunch of two-faced unprincipled idiots and to use children as a means to make a political point is utterly disgraceful.
Almost all of these people fly on business or holiday from other airports for example, Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted - so they simpy take their noise disturbance to other parts of the country; they also consume all manner of products, food and goods made abroad and air-freighted into the UK.
Their only aim in life is to preserve their own little 'patch' of real estate.
They call themselves environmentalists. You must be kidding!!!
Next time, such people should be moved on by the Police for causing an Obstruction or for behaviour likely to cause a Breach of the Peace.
Better still, have them committed...
