XR cyclists block Heathrow roads
HUNDREDS of Extinction Rebellion (XR) activists on bikes blocked roads to Heathrow yesterday in protest against plans to expand the world’s second-busiest airport.
After cycling through London, the activists got off their bikes on Bath Road, near Heathrow, to lie in front of a makeshift bulldozer.
They urged PM Boris Johnson to join them and fulfil his famous pledge as London mayor to block the bulldozers to prevent the construction of a third runway.
