Ok I didnt notice this topic before I posted mine....

How do they propose blocking a compulsary purchace order?

I say let them keep the land, and build the runway around it, and watch what happens when a 747 lands on top of them

Surely with the current financial crisis, climate change should take a back seat to any measure that might help boost the economy?

I will buy the land off them so i can build a big pond....or sell it to BAA for a healthy profit!

Greenpeace would probably issue a fatwa on me, a hippywa.

As long as they buy up all the other land before GP can buy more of it, then judging by the diagramme they can get away with rotating the terminal building 90 degrees and miss their land. If they don't have access rights you can then build a huge wall around it.

Build the terminal around it and have it as a feature, with viewing platforms.

So the celebs get publicity and make a nice fat undisclosed profit, while gaining adoration from unwashed progress hating nimbies, and the people that don't give a st but live nearby have to put with hoardes of unwashed layabouts turning up with their banners and guitars.

Has nobody told them that the land isn't lovely countryside it is some fields just outside a huge city and one of the busiest airports in the world. I could understand if someone was trying to demolish the lake district for this but do people have sod all better to do?

Ms Emma Thompson (actress) said: "I don't understand how any government remotely serious about committing to reversing climate change can even consider these ridiculous plans.

"It's laughably hypocritical. That's why we've bought a plot on the runway.

"We'll stop this from happening even if we have to move in and plant vegetables."


She then had her chauffeur drive her to T5 where she boarded a flight to Hollywood to appear in her latest moving picture.

Aren't they planning to sell on bits of land to Eskimos and other people that are difficult to trace in order to make CP difficult?

"I don't understand how anyone with half a brain and a remote understanding of the scientific method could believe that carbon emissions have any effect on climate change" please read: http://joannenova.com.au/global-warming/

P.S. I love how it's been renamed from global warming because there's no proof anything is warming up, so now the climate is 'changing' - ah, bless.

And that is the absurd thing. They're just as bad as those who got on stage at Live Earth and said "We flew in today to tell you all to only put as much water as you are going to use in your kettle so we can stop climate change". Ridiculous, and that's ignoring whether or not climate change is a problem/real/man-made etc.

I am sure all the residents ( you know.....People ) who live close to Heathrow Airport will take comfort from the fact that a load of people rage not living anywhere near here ( New Zealand and Ireland included !! ) think it quite OK that their lives are going to be totally disrupted as a result of further development , and before you all come screaming back and say ' but there has always been an airprt there , you should not have moved there in the first place ' just remember that each time there has been some expansion all the people involved , Government , BAA etc all say that this is the last development for this site !!ranting

Wrong thread, chap.

There is indeed one which is discussing the merits of the expansion itself.

This one is merely looking at the ridiculous actions of some protestors.

No judgement on the airport itself here.

"West London Property Consultant" and you don't realise that buying property near airports is short-sighted at best?

Please don't tell me that you, of all people, believe the govt and BAA when they tell you things?
