UK: Stansted paralysed after climate change protesters break into airport and storm runway

The Daily Mail (U.K.) / various ^ | December 8, 2008

[Ryanair] called for an immediate inquiry into the security breach and laid the blame squarely with BAA in a furious statement handed out to passengers.

The CEO of Ryanair is not the kind of guy to ignore this. You know he'll do his best to make the protesters and/or the incompetent airport security pay for it (he probably would have blown the protesters away with a jet exhaust stream if he could have).

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The tycoon bankrolling the anti-aviation activists who stormed Stansted owns shops in airports around the world.

Mark Constantine, the owner of Lush Cosmetics, was today accused of profiting from airline passengers while funding groups whose actions can severely disrupt their journeys.

Lush has contributed £20,000 to anti-aviation organisations including Plane Stupid, which masterminded the protest at Stansted by more than 50 activists that brought flights to a standstill for two hours on Monday, reports London’s Evening Standard.”
