The media are on to this ... anyone see Channel Four News tonight?
The interviewer kept pressing the police spokesman, regarding the use of terror laws, but he refused to be drawn.

that's why it's a security/terrorism risk. All those police taken away from their real job of protecting the PUBLIC. Instead, they're taken away to act AGAINST the public in support of a monopolistic company.
Shame on BAA.
I'm not against anyone flying. Nor am I against peaceful, lawful protest.
But why 1800 police against law abiding citizens?
It's crazy.

JK, two quotes - both taken from the current BBC website news report -
<< Up to 2,000 people are due at the Camp for Climate Action >>
<< About 1,800 officers from Surrey police, Thames Valley police, the Met, and British Transport Police will oversee the event. >>
Appx one policeman (all armed with CS gas / batons / etc) for every man, woman and child !

Anyone else notice just how many of the local people near the Heathrow protest camp have actually WELCOMED them?
Many say that (as small individual voices) they have been ignorred for years - and fully welcome the massive publicity that their cause is about to get.
When will the Police State move into action? .... about Friday is my guess.
