Black Lives Matter protesters close London City Airport runway

Black Lives Matter UK said: "Whilst at London City Airport a small elite is able to fly, in 2016 alone 3,176 migrants are known to have died or gone missing in the Mediterranean.
"Black people are the first to die, not the first to fly, in this racist climate crisis.
"We note, however, that the UK is willing to charter special flights to remove black people from the country based on their immigration status."
It added: "This action was taken in order to highlight the UK's environmental impact on the lives of black people locally and globally.
"As the largest per capita contributor to global temperature change, and yet among the least vulnerable to its deadly effects, the UK leads in ensuring that our climate crisis is a racist crisis."

Their reason for committing stupidity is unsurprisingly stupid to say the least

May I inquire as to your objection?

Wonder how many of them have enough assets to make up ~£500k+ cost to airlines and passengers...

Now it will be a burden for what I assume as a majority of their lives.

Unlikely anyone will pursue though, kinda shame.

Racially motivated climate change, that's my objection. It's ridiculous.

Are you objecting too the climate in the UK.
I apologise if your answer is obvious, I have a hard time with reading.

I'm objecting to the implication that climate change, or climate policies can target specific skin colours.

Yeah, I was going to post this if it wasn't already.

Black Lives Matter protesters close London City Airport runway

All flights at London City Airport have been disrupted after protesters gained access to the runway.

The Met Police said it was called to the site at about 05:40 BST after nine protestors "locked themselves together" on the runway.

The Black Lives Matter UK movement has confirmed it is responsible for the protest.

The airport said inbound flights were being diverted and it hoped to "resume operations as soon as possible".

Well that was irritating. Some of my family were going to Glasgow for the day, via City.

Well I think there was a student that was ordered to pay qantas in Australia for a protest on a flight. It's not impossible that an airline could try and take them to court here.

Smacks of someone wanting to jump on the BLM bandwagon and having to figure out after the fact what they're going to actually protest, since Britcops don't tend to shoot people very often.

[Shamhnan Insir]

Never heard of BLM UK, and never heard of their protest reasoning before either. Stupid stunt for stupid reasons.
There is little we can do to halt current climate change, the best we can hope to do is stop worse effects much further in the future.

Yeah, they announced themselves last month I think, and ITT we were all like "uhh, what?".

"There is anti-black racism here some where... we just have to find it!" tbh I don't know why they didn't call themselves immigrant lives matter, not to start an oppression olympics but clearly at the moment the more pressing type of discrimination is against immigrants and people descended from them not on the basis of colour of the skin.

[Val Halla]

I'm not an elitist or anti refugee. I've made that clear before.

But saying that "3,000 migrants have died crossing the Mediterranean while a only a small elite use City Airport" is nonsense because I'm pretty sure more than 3,000 people use City airport every day.

Easy to fundraise though.
