In what turned out to be a very successful demonstration against the third runway at Heathrow and airport expansion in general activists locked and glued on to the Department for Transport in central London. All have been arrested. Some suffered minor injuries to their hands caused by the glue. The police were generally clam, although some officers (AB 922) became aggressive when they were photographed. The action succeeded in blocking the main and corner entrances of the building for nearly 3 hours. Workers in the building seemed generally amused by the spectacle although some seemed annoyed that they were being made to stand out in the sun and away from their desks. No pleasing some people I guess....
