Greenpeace protesters arround Heathrow - UPDATE

According to the latest BBC report on the Greenpeace protesters around Heathrow, some minor issues occured between some protesters and the police. This apparently occured when the protesters invaded the BAA offices.

Given the kind of charges against some of the arrested ones, I doubt they came because of the climate (BBC report extract):

"Six people have been arrested during the day - two for assault on a police officer, one for carrying Class A drugs, one for criminal damage, one for going equipped to cause criminal damage, and one for failing to give a name and address after anti-social behaviour."

Again, I just hope that this situation will not evolve to something worse, which would be a loss for anyone. Anything possible must be done to avoid any further degradation in this very complex and tense context.
