That injunction

So Heathrow owners BAA gave the Camp for Climate Action loads of free publicity by trying to get an injunction to stop it, but did they actually achieve anything? Not really. Despite early reports in the press notching up a BAA victory, they got very little of what they wanted.

The final injunction covered none of the groups in Airportwatch (of which WDM is one) which together have around 5 million members. Only direct action group Plane Stupid is named in an injunction which is civil and not criminal, gives the police no new powers of arrest, and covers only a very limited geographical area which doesn't include the Camp itself.

So there's nothing to stop you coming down and joining WDM's workshop at 10.30 on Wednesday morning! We're going to be talking about climate change as a global justice issue, highlighting the inequalities in emissions between rich and poor countries, and also looking at some of the 'solutions' to climate change, such as widespread use of biofuels, which as well as being dubious as solutions will also impact very badly on the world's poor. See you there.
