Around 30 people have blockaded the BP head offices in St James Sq, london this morning. Some are superglued to each other and some are D-locked to railings on te side of the building.

Quoting one of the activists, Stanley Owen: 'We cannot sustain infinitive growth on a finite planet'. With its 31 million tonnes of fuel used a year, Heathrow is like the 'biggest carbon bonfire'. BP is one of two fuel suppliers to the airport.

The atmosphere at the blockade is very good. 'Workers are not getting in, we're talking to them about having the day off' said one of the supporters who have gathered in numbers outside the building and are leafleting workers and passers by.
