Transport minister pied for support of Heathrow expansion lobby

25.05.2005 13:21 | Ecology | Health | London

Alistair Darling, Secretary of State for Transport, was pied on Tuesday at the launch event of a powerful new industry coalition, 'Future Heathrow', formed to ensure expansion of Heathrow goes ahead.

A climate change activist gained access to the high security event and as the first speaker welcomed all the suits to their exclusive little back slapping event, she sprang up and planted the carrot and cream cake firmly in the face of the Minister. As she did so, she said "Future Heathrow stinks, your bogus economics stink, Alistair Darling being here stinks, and your vision for this planet stinks". She ejected by security guards but not arrested.

Meanwhile over 100 local residents took time off work to demonstrate outside the CBI HQ launch event, with a huge banner reading 'Future Heathrow Stinks', and a new report that concludes that Heathrow contributes little to the national or local economy, but simply lines the pockets of the aviation industry.

To Pie in the USA is a Felony, Maybe forced medical procedures

America does not allow people to be pied. Felonies, forced injections, million dollar bails, threats of insane assylum jail time. These are just some of the horrors we are forced to endure.

See the Quatrains 3 page on the website for the latest comment and link to proof of forced medical procedures. You should view your own government with suspicion when they start acting like Nazis. I think the time has come for a revolutionary international coalition to guide society to enlightened ends.

The question of the day, "In a seemingly infinite chicken coop, how many chickens necks do you have to break before they herd to a safe locale?" The answer is, None? You form a line of wolves and start chewing on their asses.
