Bikes against Bulldozers Heathrow lie-in

Heathrow, London. Sun 8 Dec 2019



 People lie in front of the digger shovel

 in a long line

 

 Police have joined the stewards to protect them from the traffic which is still flowing past on the outside lane

 

 The people with the banner are now in the inside lane

 

 

 

 

 Christine Taylor is called to the microphone and gets up from where she has been lying with a few local

 protesters

 

 

 But there is a small change of plan. People have got cold on the ground,

 and they are told to get up and dance to some music from the sound system to get warm again

 and up they get

 with some dancing rather more energetically than others

 but moving around is the best way to get warm

 

 

 

 

 Then it's time for more speeches

 and people stop to listen

 

 As Christine Taylor speaks. She is wearing a t-shirt against Heathrow expansion from the 'No Third Runway'

 campaign. The t-shirt is from 2002 and the battle was won in 2010. But Heathrow came back with the

 Davies report, set up as a supposedly independent inquiry which backed expansion in 2015.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The protest came to an end and I left as people were being told ways to get back to London
