The Observer reported today on how eco-activists and airport residents groups are gearing up to oppose airport expansion at Heathrow.

See the link for the full story.

Opening paragraph:

"The bitterest environmental battle of a generation is set to erupt over government plans to give the go-ahead for a massive expansion of Heathrow airport.
Thousands could be forced to leave their homes, say campaigners who have pledged to block construction by all possible means."

Quote of the day: "My neighbouring Conservative MP, John Randall, has threatened to lie down in front of the bulldozers. We're getting Tory Swampys on this."
