Update on BAA sit-in

Protestors have set up shelters and are currently eating, sleeping, singing and chilling with a temporarily more relaxed policing style. Police are currently letting more people join, but it's unclear how long this will last. Wheelbarrow full of treats, including hot food, raised spirits of the blockaders, who plan to stay until workers arrive for work in the morning.

It is apparent that the little scurmish outsided the BAA HQ will be nothing to when the real demolition of peoples' homes and properties begins in a few year's time. What is not realised is that BAA is no longer 'British' Airports Authority but belongs to two Spanish billionaires who also own the huge Spanish construction / property development Ferovial. In purchasing BAA they also inherited the grandfather rights of compulsory purchase of all properties in the way of airport expansion. It is the only foreign owned company can legally demolish other people's properties. Ferovial doesn't give a damn about Climate Change of the Climate Camp. Fears of direct intimidation from Ferovial against protesters is already causing some concern around Heathrow.
