London City Airport Runway Shut By Black Lives Matter....

Brighton factually.....
Flights at London City Airport have been delayed after Black Lives Matter protesters crossed the dock and "occupied" the runway.

Metropolitan Police said it was called to the airport at 5.40am to reports of protesters "who made their way airside".
Nine demonstrators have erected a tripod on the runway and have locked themselves together, Met Police added.
No arrests have been made at this stage.
Scotland Yard said: "Officers are currently on scene and are negotiating with them.
"We are awaiting the arrival of specialist resources that are able to 'unlock' the protesters."

Flights to Zurich, Geneva, Guernsey and Zurich have been cancelled, while flights which were due to arrive at the airport from Rotterdam, Luxembourg, New York and Frankfurt have all been diverted.
In a statement Black Lives Matter UK said that activists are carrying out the demonstration "in order to highlight the UK's environmental impact on the lives of black people"
It added that the planned expansion of London City Airport "consigns the local community in Newham to further deterioration of their environment".

The statement read: "The average salary of a London City Airport user is €136,000 (£113,800) and 63% of them work in business, finance or other business services.
"It is an airport designed for the wealthy.
"At the same time 40% of Newham's population struggle to survive on £20,000 or less."
The protest comes a month after ten Black Lives Matter UK activists were arrested after a demonstration near Heathrow Airport.

In a statement London City Airport said: "We're currently experiencing disruption to all flights due to protesters at the airport.

The photo says it all in my opinion, The Black lives matter appears to have been hijacked in this country by left wing organizations and makes a mockery of the American struggle.

But I could be wrong.

A movement started in part by a woman who idolises a cop killing criminal.

That can only ensure that regular people will relate to it.

It's a disgrace, it's giving liberalism a bad name.

Has no-one at the airport got an angle grinder or a pair of bolt croppers ?

Some of the suggestions on here may have been a bit OTT (much as I like the idea of hitching the whole sorry mass of them to an outgoing aircraft!) but surely the police should be just moving in and physically moving them, not 'negotiating'? Have we gone soft, or what?
After all, they're just a bunch of 'look-at-me' twats being offended on somebody else's behalf.
