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

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

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.

Indeed, ****ing pathetic.

If anything, things like this are going to make people give less of a crap about what they are protesting about. When it gets to this stage I think its less about the actual protest and more about just attentionseeking tbh.

A lot of people did/do. Pissing people off in this way is NOT the way to gather more support for your cause. Surely you can see this?

I agree. I can never understand groups who protest by alienating the people they should be getting on board.

Sure. But my overall issue is that whatever is done is not good enough. The people that should actually give a damn to make a change call it a farce. People feel hopeless.

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
