Black Lives Matter protesters block entry to Heathrow
 
Protesters from the Black Lives Matter campaign brought transport routes around the UK to a standstill this morning as part of their campaign for a 'nationwide shutdown'.

Pictures tweeted by angry motorists and air passengers show a banner unfurled across the approach road to Heathrow airport's terminals one, two and three this morning.

Protests have also targeted Birmingham airport and the tram system in Nottingham in what the group called a 'nationwide shutdown'.
The demonstrations look set to cause chaos at one of the busiest times of the year, as hundreds of families head off on their summer holidays.

Yay stop people from going about their business, or on holiday, this is a great way to endear a cause to the public

Liam- 05-08-2016 08:50 AM

So they're basically going to hold people and their plans hostage until they're listened to... sounds familiar.

billy123 05-08-2016 09:07 AM

Oh god please not the trams in Nottingham the country will surely grind to a halt. :umm2:

Fair enough they NEED to be heard and something needs to be done but this is just a bit stupid
Who is gonna be like
You know what, since the group prevented me and my family from going on our holiday I will nkw support or join them
Marches down streets is better there's ways around that but it's still a way to be heard

Maybe the recent event of a white girlfriend shouting that her boyfriend did nothing wrong as he was being roughed up by the police caused this new protest. I don't know


But this should be taken as support. Like people got together here for Orlando.

Drew. 05-08-2016 10:30 AM

I don't understand how this is benefiting them? Whats the point in targeting thousands of people and tourists trying to go on their holidays they've earned? This is just dumb, at least do something thats aimed to get people on side

This is the British public though, no matter what they do they're never gonna get the public on their side lets be honest :laugh:

lewis111 05-08-2016 11:19 AM

Of course all lives matter but everyone knows that white peoples lives matter they are not killed or disadvantaged for being white.
It's just like there's no real need for straight pride or white history month

All this has done is make people angry and inconvenienced. It hasn't helped any cause, the system isn't the same here as it is in the US. I hope people block off all routes to the Notting Hill Carnival this year. Quid pro quo.

Rather pathetic tbh, I'd be fuming if these fools were blocking me from Zante

Cherie 05-08-2016 01:15 PM

Did the life's of the black people inconvenienced today trying to go about their business matter, nope, these are just band wagon jumpers who have nothing better to do and can't see that they are hindering rather than helping

"How can we increase support for Black Lives Matter?"
"I know - let's block off roads, ruin people's holidays and piss everyone off!"

Great logic :rolleyes:

The funny thing, the US is even rolling its eyes at this. :hehe:

Pretty much this

Which is a shame because I really support the cause but today's actions have been really silly

From ITV1HD London News

Well done that Motorist
that broke their signs
he had to pick up people at the Airport.

arista 05-08-2016 05:17 PM

Some Punks were chained
with Concrete - so the Cops have to Chip
away at the Concrete first.


And well done that Black Lady
in Central London
who said the Police are now better
in the Community
