Sorry - I was thinking more on the lines of those who glue themselves to roads, railings doors etc. Leave them be, I say.
As an aside - I wonder if these folks took holiday from work to be there? What! - they don't work! Theyre certainly not looking for work are they, so names and addresses to the Job Centres tout suite and lets stop the JSA"s.

Effing muppet. I hope they throw the book at him. Unfortunately he'll probably get off with a warning not to be a bad boy again.

It's too bad they got the whole rescue crew out and carefully removed him... should have just grabbed his legs and kept yanking until they ripped him off.

Deranged

Just lock the bastard up and throw away the key.
It is interesting,how many people who does not want a real job, but instead decides to become “activists”. They should not be entitled to any kind of benefits, unless they work.

Why do so many people persist in believing the myth that all these protesters are unemployed or unemployable? Just because you or I wouldn't give up a day or two for it doesn't meant that there aren't plenty of people out there who would.

As we all know civil aviation accounts for a tiny percentage of carbon, but it’s an easy target for these wasters.When you look at their aims it’s clear , they are really just anarchists.

How do we know that this isn't a 'real job'? For all we know it may pay very well.

Oh, I'm sure there are piles of cash behind this. No doubt a devious scheme by railroad operators, international bus companies and draft horse breeders.

Hopefully something very painful when the rescue services tried to remove it.

At $50.6 million minimum for an E-190 I hope it’s not corrosive!

Looks like some form of household cyanoacrylate in this news media picture from LCY yesterday.
