Plane Stupid? Never has an activist group been more appropriately named. Get over it, Air Travel is expanding and always will. Yes airlines are looking at Greener Fuels and Airports are looking at Alternative Powers, Great I fully support that but airport expansion HAS to happen. Sorry but thats life, deal with it. Good job BAA! Anyone who breaks into airports and causes disruption to an airport is no better than a terrorist and they should be dealt with under the anti-terror laws and locked up.

[TheScorpionSquad]

Well said! Couldn't agree more.

[blabanter]

You plane stupid idiots thought you were doing the right thing today blocking the run way @ Aberdeen Airport 2day. LOL. u moved coz u were told some1 needed to be airlifted out of aberdeen airport because they were seriously ill. agian lol. BAA aberdeen isnt used for medical airlifts as aberdeen hospital have their own heli pad. All i can say is WAAAAAYYY!

[pixmafia]

From what i could see from this missleadingly titled video was a BAA snow plough driving up to the fences you put up. they did not ram the group. its psycology to scare some of the less hardcore ones of the group.

[deejayhart]

I spoke to someone from this group. I absolutely support reduction of emissions, and improvement of our car-less land transport.

Her argument was not for train expansion. Or at least, it was supportive of it. She didn't excuse what the group did. It is a strangely misplaced humanism where people will fuck up the lives of others to make a point (probably about 0.0001%) or much much less about global energy usage - in a single day. Finite our fuel may be, but why ruin days for others like that?

[FlyGuy824]

Let's think for a moment, how would have US authorities responded if a similar american campaign group done the same at say, LAX or JFK?? I can only imagine...lOl

Any thoughts on this?

[HollyPopsicle]

If i'd have had my way I'd have run every single scheduled Ryanair flight over you!

You are terrorists! You do illegal activities!

YOU NEED REAL JOBS! and a real education!

Also, I'd be greatful if you pay back my £400's worth of expenses I've lost due to you PLAIN STUPID dickheads!

PS I suggest you change the spelling to plain since thats all you wankers are!

[socarulz]

BAA should have directed a 747 towards you oxford wankers.

Stop messing with peoples lives, you immature tossers.

[mkviolin]

I do care about environment but I think that you all are foolish idiots, as soon you affect normal people, not airlines - you will lose most of your supporters. To go around the Stansted airport and collect the garbage would help environment more that your stupid mob. I was lucky enough not to fly yesterday to Stansted...

[MattA96]

super effort, you have turned virtually the entire country against you. In general people are sympathetic to the climate change cause, and a properly presented protest would have been listened to (ie targeting BAA/Ferovial's corporate offices). By screwing up Christmas/travel plans of innocent people you are onto a sure-fire loser. Your chief strategist needs a brain replacement.

[rb124]

Don't worry Ryanair is Europes cleanest, greenest airline.

[cmptrmavn]

haha! Serves you right. Normally I despise BAA but I have to say seeing these illegal protestors being given a taste of their own medicine brings a smile to my face.

[bbkiller1990]

if this protest was along the main road or outside the terminal of stansted then the group may have got respect, but all this stunt has done has ruined the reputation and no doubt it'll land people in jail

i work at an airport as a ramp agent, im cleared for all areas.. except runways and taxiways.. only on taxiways ONLY when a plane is being pushed back, if i was to go into any of the 2 areas i mentioned i would be escorted off the airport, lose my job and be charged for tresspassing or more..

[FlyGuy824]

BAA should have kept the runway open, an approaching Ryanair 737 would have soon cleared them!!

[Bellamut]

Haha that's what I thought too

[gwanplanestupid]

True.

PS One mans terrorist...

or one mans "hippy/student/middle class trustafarian SCUM" is another persons legit Eco Protester One day we wont be able to sit about pontificating about other people doing actions the morals involved or what bloody class they constitute

We'll be busy fighting over last dregs from civilisation Except we wont our children might though- or their children

most of us too selfish to do jack.

Some are trying others r sitting in that river in Egypt.

[HaggisPowah]

So wilful destruction of private property is the modus operandi of a 'legit Eco protester'? What the HELL have you been smoking, pal?

I hope these wankers get the book thrown at them.

[JimBob3501]

OK Gwan we will leave it. Just want to point out I did not say the protesters deserved to die, that would be horrific. All I pointed out was that airports are very tense places, there are a lot of armed guards about, and alarming them by invading a secured area is asking for trouble. Trying to remove trespassers with a plough is pretty lucky when you consider the alternative.

[gwanplanestupid]

Well I'll agree to disagree with you Jimbob.

But anyone suggesting they deserve to be killed 4 distrupting flights is "plane wrong" as well. And I am repeating myself now so thats the last word from me!.

[Bellamut]

Bunch of morons. All you've done is disrupted travelers on holiday or on business.

If there is any justice, Plane Stupid will foot the bill for Ryanair's missed flights, and they will be locked up for many years for their idiotic, misinformed and selfish act.

[oliversmithed1988]

Yeah, in response again to your comment gwanplane. I agree that something should be done about CO2 emmissions in the UK.

However taking over an airport is not going to help you in your cause, I sorry to say.

you have only irritated people and made plane stupid look very badly in the eyes of the public.

there are far more effective ways of protesting against climate change

[gwanplanestupid]

JimBob I'm not in Plane Stupid, or in a position to join in I have a baby to look after, no "have a higher propensity to carry out such an act"Got on this thing coz of comments saying my brother etc should be "shot" etc. My mum is taking over now I'm going to look after baby:

these kids r in vanguard of raising awareness dangers facing planet. Rising seas threaten not just Bangladesh but all the low lying coastal areas of UK.This could happen/ is happening in our lifetime. Wakey wakey!!

[JimBob3501]

Even if it is true that airplanes have single handedly a large enough effect on this, raising awareness in such a way is just wrong! Just have a browse for the number of times words such as "alienation" have been used in these comments.

Also I would like to make clear I have never suggested you are a member of the group.

[oliversmithed1988]

Im very sorry gwanplane stupid, I really don't think what you are saying about the protests concerning the voting rights of women, black people and the working class has any comparison the the issue of people wanting the travel using aircraft.

I find it difficult to understand why you havent realised this protest is not going to help anybody, all it has done and is going to do is anger the general public whose support you should be seeking and alienate them from your campaign.

[gwanplanestupid]

aren't 99.9 of the scientists saying its down to us? pace man-made change since the industrial revolution co2 emisions AND cows! this cussing of "middle class wankers" etc. Didnt working class men fight to get the vote/ equal rights? women? Black people: didn't reactinary bigots back in day cuss them for being working class/ women/ Black? it isn't coz they are middle class that they are inspiring venom.

its coz they r doing something issue that deep down we know we have to face up to.

[JimBob3501]

Not many people on here are denying humans have accelerated global warming. Most are merely pointing out that aviation is not the biggest cause. Most who disagree with this view still believe Plane Stupid's protest methods are wrong in many ways.

[JimBob3501]

Your argument of "cussing of middle class wankers" clearly shows you are grasping at straws here, but hey. A protest like this typical reaction of the more extreme elements of the post-materialist middle classes theorised by Ronald Inglehart. So excuse everyone else for jumping to a rather obvious conclusion. It is not like people are attacking the entire middle class or students, as I am a middle class student myself. However, such people do have a higher propensity to carry out such an act.

[oliversmithed1988]

This Protest is Absolutely Ridiculous, People are well aware of the fact Flying isn't good for the environment, but its the only quick and easy way of long distance travel. The protesters tady have only angered the general public and alienated them from their campaign.

This is not the way to change, this protest hasn't changed anything all its done is anger and inconvience innocent passengers

[nwafan20]

Gwanplanestupid, aviation is not anywhere CLOSE to the largest producer of Co2, why not protest the cows? Oh yeah, that wont get you on TV. Instead of doing a peaceful protest, they break into the airside of an airport, real smart! Maybe you guys should grow brain cells! not only did they break too many laws to count, they disrupted many peoples lives. Way to get public opinion on your side, bravo! P.S. global warming isn't even caused by man it is a natural cycle! remember global cooling?

[buckfast67uk]

The instance you get airside unlawfully, you should by rights become fair game as a terrorist.

Line a few of the c*nts up in the sights of an MP5 and see how brave they are then.

Breaking into an international airport to cause disruption and compromise safety is an act of terrorism. Lock these idiots up for 10-15 years minimum.

This country has gone to the dogs, we are such a soft touch it's unreal

[gwanplanestupid]

Densanner, I am not in Plane Stupid,my brother is, HE WONT FLY ANY WHERE ANYMORE. I don't know about the rest but I reckon not they dont somehow. The gov'ment should make all rail affordable n then it wouldn't be so tempting to take flights all the time. I am not saying noone should fly ever, but we should cut down...I reckon the hard core members of Plane Stupid wouldn't advocate that and I bet my trust fund (JOKE: I AINT GOT ONE AND MY NAME AINT LILLY OR OLVIA EITHER) they dont fly at all.

[densaner77]

Well if you are not planestupid why did you choose that name? The trouble with people like planestupid is that they criticise the current situation without helping to change it or provide alternative ideas. The reason the airports need to expand is beacuse more and more people want to fly they are reacting to a demand. The countries that cause the pollution are China, USA and India, the UK is small beer. If planestupid tried that shit in any other country they would have been shot!

[gwanplanestupid]

Oh and btw JIMBOB don't assume all environmentalists are middle class. I'm not a trustafarian/ soap dogder I was being ironic not "correctly positioning myself" (I have 2 showers a day, my dads POOR and Ive worked since I was 14),AND "pondlife" isn't an insult denoting anyones CLASS (as a single mum/ youth worker I don't judge anyone: except BASTARDS) I am just talking about some peoples (most people on here in fact) stupid selfish mindset.Its SAD.

[densaner77]

It the was the stupid and selfish wankers this morning that caused this nightmare. Come on then get all the people who were arrested and all the other members of your organisation to state in public that you will never ever use air travel again. You won't because you are a bunch of middle class hypocrites called "Lily" and "Olivia".

[JimBob3501]

GWANPLANESTUPID

What have the bastards done? It's not their fault they were born out of wedlock. Haw haw.

Also, how dare you criticise me for making an assumption after you have called people who have a different opinion to you "pondlife". After looking at your brief résumé, I dare say many of the riled people on here are better qualified than you for analysing aviation's effect on climate change.

[lxgb]

You stupid little trustafarian twats! Jump off a clff and do us all a favour! Wish they'd run over you all with fire engines and snowploughs!

[densaner77]

BAA should have run you over and backed up to finish you off! Most of the climate change is caused by China, India and the USA. Try breaking into Beijing Airport and see what you get! Come on Plane Stupid get every member to sign a pledge promising never to use air travel again and then publish it. If you don't you are a bunch of middle class hypocrites!

[bellend181818]

twats! do us a favour and jump into a planes engine

[gwanplanestupid]

its really sad she missed her dads funeral and i wasn't there as i said but reading comments about how my brother should be shot on site/ snowploughed to death riled me. Also as a mother I would not take a flight anymore full stop I want my child and his childrens children not live with the catastrophic effects. I don't want it for your kids either, or the woman who missed her dads funeral.

im sorry, but none of those young people deserve death 4 for taking part in a peaceful protest.

[flyvirginatlantic]

Serves you right for blocking up Stansted! Peaceful protest? I don't think so. And aviation is NOT the leading cause to climate change. So, shut up, stop flying, and suck it up. Stop ruining everyone elses lives because you are too stupid to know what's really going on

[driver5uk]

idiots, think of the peoples plans you've ruined? especially the woman trying to get to her father funeral

hope you all get jailed for tresspassing on secure ground as only a handful of people are authorised to go onto airport runways/taxiways... to be honest you all should have been shot

[ashdonweb]

Tossers!!!

What peacefull protest? Morelike breaking and entering. The only people who suffered today were the hundreds of people who missed their flights due to useless people like you who are so far up your own arses its untrue..

PS I work at Stansted - thanks for the overtime today!!

[gwanplanestupid]

Scientists agree climate change facts,7 years till tipping point becomes ireversable. only reason I wasn't there is the amount of pond life in the human race means I think y'all aint worth saving- as demonstrated by some of the c***s commenting on here. My brother was though and he and his crew are worth a million of you w*****s. Middle class soap dodgers or You tube commenting c***s alike  we will all be under water and dead if we keep flying and consuming to this level.

[wiseguyon]

I think you're just bitter because you imbeciles are not only locked up right now, but that public sentiment has not even remotely gone your way

[JimBob3501]

Even if that is true, do you genuinely think this is the best way to combat it?

By the way, congrats on playing up to the middle class stereotype most of us "pond life" have seemingly correctly placed you.

Do you have any response to the rumours of a woman missing her father's funeral? How does this individual fit into your grand scheme?

[nuwsc]

what a complete bunch of cretins! "oh, i was terrified!"

Dont chain yourself to a f**king fence on the taxiway of a major international airport then!

Why not do something useful rather than seeking attention and disrupting peoples lifes!

[taniabanana]

Hope you twats choke on the fumes

[gp4nut]

apparently a woman missed her father's funeral because of these idiots! shame on you, you middle class liberal loony treehuggers!

[YID1282]

he should have gone right over you lot

[HawkerTyphoon]

Shame it didn't have knives on it.

[YourMumsBottom]

Mr Plow would've run you twunts over...

[junglejay31]

TWATS!!

[gp4nut]

should have run you over instead you pricks!

[sevydad]

That snowplough should have run you all over!

[Kyyanno]

So in a time when national security is at ridiculously high levels for air travel as it is, a bunch of misfits decide to break into the flight side of an airport. Clever. Maybe if anyone caught doing such a thing were arrested immediately under anti-terrorism laws, they'd think twice about causing such pointless and stupid disruption.

The very people they try to make their arguments & protests heard by are the ones they hurt the most today. Not a smart move.

[flaxius]

Idiots!

[bomaellis]

What a bunch of dick heads. They should have left you there to freeze.

[TheSodburys]

Wouldn't it be lovely if we lived in a country where these idiotic child vandals were made to pay all the wasted money back by sewing mail bags in jail!

Time we had a shoot on sight policy for anyone breaching airport security like this!

Go and do something useful with your lives kids!

[S7r0ng3r]

I definitely agree with you on the shoot on sight thing. But another, better thing to do would be to request the pilots to position the plane so that protesters are right behind the engines. Then put it on full thrust.

[robgray1982]

Does that video show someone being rammed? Really?

I would have been much happier if it did, thats the only reason i watched it.

[Murvalous]

Someone should have rammed this clueless workshy idiots with a Jumbo jet!

And what idiot said Aviation is the biggest cause of global warming, typical uninformed idiot

[S7r0ng3r]

Dude the protestors should taste the thrust. They'll be thrown 20 feet or so into the air.

[HaggisPowah]

I'd say more like 300' backwards, bashing into any solid, unyielding object en route.

These people are complete and utter cretins. Treehugging attention-seekers with absolutely ZERO hard science to back up their outlandish claims.

Lock them up for as long as the law allows.

[S7r0ng3r]

oh yes! that'll be sweet. but if anything, we don't really have to worry too much about these idiots. the aviation industry is worth billions of dollars each year. they're not about to get rid of it just by protesting.

[windass50]

Stupid liberal nonces moaning about something they know nothing about. Its about time that people were made to take a test before protesting in this country. Leave it to the scientists, not a bunch of students!!

[joeb1ack]

I would make them do community service. Something that would give back to us all. Something that adds value to the country and the economy. I've got it, put them to work on the 3rd runway at Heathrow or better stick them beneath it!

[pirationsoundsystem]

good work....wot a great protest......should happen all the time i think, like in bangkok....

[dwshimoda]

Wankers.

Read the views and understand that forcing youre views on others and disrupting thousands of peoples day wont help. It's selfish, and stupid.

Should have driven the snow plough over all of them and reopened the runway immediately.

[Kingdomhearts120]

WHAT A LOAD OF WANKERS!

I didn't get to go on my German trip to Lubeck because of their antics!!!!

[winterscorp]

Wow, a bunch of idiot protesting hippys something they clearly have no knowledge or understanding about.

Cow's produce 4 times more dangerous gasses than planes, why don't you go protest farms or will that just not get you in the newspaper as easily?

Id be happy to see the plans land right ontop of you.

[FyRE667]

I applaud these heroes for saving a few tonnes of environmental pollution. It means I can go home and burn tyres in the backyard knowing my carbon footprint is being offset by a bunch of hippies.

[undercurrentspaulo]

Thank you protesters for actually doing something to stop crazy airport expansion. Don't listen to the uninformed.

I thank you for raising the issues about runaway climate chaos...I salute you all.

[JimBob3501]

There are other ways to protest without causing such disruption. I believe the likes of you are the "uninformed"

[wiseguyon]

Peaceful? You call breaking into a secure area of an airport and disrupting travel peaceful? You're a bunch of criminals (In addition to being media whores). I hope you all get locked up for this stupidity.

[JimBob3501]

I am loving the unanimous hatred you lot are receiving.

[MarkHarrop63]

yup, keep up the good work!

[steview888]

'Climate Change' isn't human caused. It's natural. We're here today because of climate change. Get that into your thick skulls before you start disrupting people's lives.

And get a job, you clueless idiots.

[Kyyanno]

The emerging giant of China's manufacturing and powerplants has nothing to do with Global Warming, of course. It's all to do with air travel. Yup.

[steview888]

Aviation is the most efficient form of travel on the planet, mile for mile.

Do your homework before disrupting people's lives.

[Jamiemc02]

You deserve everything you get. Just be happy is wasn't me in charge of the snow plow.

Lets see all these protestors passports and see all the stamps in them during their gap year !!

[Takekaze50]

Someone get the water cannon.

I'm sick and tired of these enviro-fascists. CO2 is heavier than air, thus it can't form some oddball shield and trap the heat. Case closed. Besides, plants need CO2. I don't think those morons have ever heard of photosynthesis.

They need Find something new to fight for. to fMaybe the... rare purple sibirean slug or something.

[tsad2]

I wonder how many of these protestors used a plane to get to their last holiday destination? How many of them already booked a flight for the next holidays?

[MrHorgy]

Ramming? You Idiots. Runway and taxiway maintenance has to continue, even if it happens around you!

[gosbts01]

Why don't you do something worthwhile like stopping the people destroying the Amazon rainforest, something that will make a difference you lazy, work shy, timewasters

[electrocardiograph]

i was laughing when i heard this on the news! these people actually think they can make a difference by disrupting one airport. ONE AIRPORT! hahaha there are many all over the world in case they didnt know! all they have done is cause misery for the commuters.

[Invertabid]

These protesters will be unceremoniously arrested and that will be the end of them. Other than causing some disruption to unwitting, innocent travellers they have done nothing other than conger up a majority of negative feeling. Well done. The group are however, aptly named, they are indeed plane stupid.

[sprucegoose49]

I couldn't really make out what was going on in the video, if there was a snowplough. The driver should have made a a nice tidy heap of protesters and pushed them to the Job Center.

[castor0700]

Ramming? I had little sympathy already but by 'Ramming' I assume you mean that BAA staff are knocking your fence down, so everyone can use the airport. If you move out of the way you won't get hurt. Get your idiotic friends off the airport and stand outside the terminal with a placard. At least that way it will waste less police time locking you up.

I agree with JimBob - what a bunch of selfish idiots.

[JimBob3501]

On the plane stupid website, a quote from a protester says

"I was terrified: you don't expect to be attacked with a snowplough on a peaceful protest."

Getting in the way of people living their ordinary lives like this is sickening. Imagine if the delay of a flight leads to a father missing his child's birth due to a delayed flight? What if someone misses an essential business meeting resulting in a job loss?

A snow plough? You're lucky you didn't get shot you selfish little shits.

[Cctu]

most of them are unemployed

[Dragoniclife]

i can see some clear ramming come on you can do it

[kennyvader]

I can't see any ramming going on.
