Nope. But here'a a pro-tip for you. Don't buy or rent near an airport and then whine about living near an airport.

Like the people living near Heathrow Airport - the sixth busiest airport in the world - on London's western edge. There's no way I'd like to live in one of these houses:

That's probably why the locals fought to keep any jet aircraft out of London City.

Most, or all, of the people (blackies, whites, Muzzies) who live in Silvertown, in the shadow of London City Airport, have probably moved there since the airport was built.

That may be true, however, when the idea was first brought in to have regularly scheduled flights using Q400s and Dash8s, the locals fought to prevent it; failing that, they wanted to eliminate any possible flights by jet aircraft.

We're these people even black?

They were all white, I think. Not one black person protesting and chaining themselves up on the runway. They're those people who get offended about something on behalf of other people.

Black Lives Matter protest stops flights at London City airport. The campaign said it carried out the protest to highlight the environmental impact of air travel on the lives of black people locally and globally.


And George Soros sits back and smiles....

RICHARD LITTLEJOHN: Privileged eco-toffs, a soft-headed judge and an insult to justice

By Richard Littlejohn for the Daily Mail
16 September 2016


You can’t expect to cause a full-scale security alert at an international airport and get away with it. Well, not unless you’re a double-barrel-named, middle-class layabout and you bring London’s City Airport to a standstill, says Littlejohn (above)

Here’s an idea. The next time you’re stuck in an interminable queue at the airport, just vault the barrier, brush aside the security guards and run headlong to your gate.

If your plane isn’t there yet, barge open the emergency exit, set off the alarms, and make for the middle of the runway.

Settle down, take a long slug from the bottle of mineral water they didn’t have time to confiscate and make yourself comfortable.

How far do you think you’d get? If you managed to evade the screening staff, the sniffer dogs and the posse of dopey birds from the perfume counter hosing you down with Chanel No 5, you’d be rugby-tackled by a goon in a hi-viz jacket before you passed Costa Coffee.


Queues are a nightmare at airports, but if you try to vault the barrier security will chase you down and armed police could even get involved (file picture)

In the unlikely event of you reaching the emergency exit, you’d be surrounded by armed police, bundled to the ground and pegged out like Gulliver.

If you tried to resist, you’d be Tasered to within an inch of your life as a basis for negotiation.

Next stop would be a prison cell, followed by interrogation, an intimate body search and a court appearance the following morning.

I don’t know what the exact charge would be, but they’d think of something suitably draconian.

Endangering aircraft, perhaps, or maybe a breach of anti-terrorism legislation, carrying a maximum penalty of 25 years in jail.

You wouldn’t be able to complain that you weren’t warned. The airports are plastered with notices advising that anyone refusing to co-operate with, or behaving aggressively towards, staff will be arrested and prosecuted.

Talk back in a ‘disrespectful’ fashion to someone informing you that your miniature toiletries are in a non-regulation plastic bag, or chucking your child’s half-empty bottle of Pepsi in a dustbin, and you can expect to be hauled off in unceremonious fashion.


'Middle class layabouts' brought London City Airport to a standstill with a protest, pictured,

If you have caused a major security alert — and what doesn’t constitute a ‘major security alert’ these days? — you can expect a heavy fine and a possible custodial sentence, especially if the judge has got out of the wrong side of bed that morning or has just had his holiday screwed up because of a bomb scare at Nice airport.

It would serve you right, too. After all, as the authorities are constantly reminding us, our safety is their number one priority.

You can’t expect to cause a full-scale security alert at an international airport and get away with it.

Well, not unless you’re a double-barrel-named, middle-class layabout and you bring London’s City Airport to a standstill.

They weren’t acting out of frustration at the mindless, routine aggravation we are all subjected to when we travel by plane, you understand.


Nine defendants, pictured during the protest, were each let off with a conditional discharge and ordered to pay £95 court costs

They chained themselves to the runway, after crossing the River Thames in rubber dinghies and scaling perimeter fences, because they wanted to draw attention to ‘racist climate change’ and the Black Lives Matter movement.

So that’s all right, then.

The fact that these spoilt imbeciles were all white is almost academic.

If they hadn’t claimed to be from Black Lives Matter, they’d have justified their sabotage on the grounds that they were protesting about Brexit, or the migrant crisis, or the lack of designated transgendered toilet facilities on jumbo jets.

The police response was pathetic. Instead of turning a fire-hose on them, sending for bolt-cutters and a bulldozer, they let them stay put for six hours while negotiators attempted to talk the protesters into giving themselves up.

They even handed out bottles of water to prevent the poor lambs becoming dehydrated.

Meanwhile, 9,000 paying passengers trying to go about their lawful business were cooped up in the terminal.

The cost in terms of lost connections, cancelled business meetings, disrupted holidays and — who knows? — missed funerals, weddings and family reunions is incalculable.

What right had these selfish sons and daughters of privilege, subsidised by rich parents and the mug British taxpayer, to cause human anguish on such a scale?

This week these chinless chimps turned up at court to answer charges of aggravated trespass and what a bunch they were.

They could have stepped straight out of the society pages of Tatler, if they hadn’t chosen a life of agitprop as opposed to aristocratic decadence.

All of them, however, displayed a typically aristocratic disdain towards the misery they caused the lower orders caught up in their vindictive act of disruption.

Cast your eyes down the roll-call of these self-proclaimed ‘Black Lives Matter’ activists. You couldn’t make them up. They’re a bunch of Sloaney dilettantes.

Take, for example, 25-year-old Natalie Geraldine Twistleton-Wykeham-Fiennes, a regular on the ‘climate change’ protest circuit and cousin of actor Ralph. Never mind double-barrelled, she’s triple-barrelled.


Natalie Geraldine Twistleton-Wykeham-Fiennes, a regular on the ‘climate change’ protest circuit and cousin of actor Ralph

Treble surnames all round!

Like the rest of her compadres in crime, she doesn’t seem to have done a proper day’s work in her life.

Nat still lives at her parents’ £2 million pad just off Clapham Common and claims to make a living babysitting.

Would you let her babysit your kids? She’d probably chain herself to the cot because you were using non-recyclable disposable nappies.

Esme Waldron is described as an ‘expert on lesbian culture’. Of course she is. You don’t get many Esmes working on the fish counter in Lidl.

Alex Etchart — who works in ‘youth empowerment’, has a degree in ‘ethnomusicology’ and directed The Sex Workers’ Opera — is the son of a Uruguayan father who claims to be living in political exile in the UK.

In which case, his old man might have told him to display a little more gratitude towards his adopted country.

Pity we can’t put young Alex on the first plane to Montevideo — once we’ve cleared the runway, of course.

Sam Lund-Harket is an environmental officer at university, whatever that is. Deborah Francis-Grayson is 31 years old yet she is still doing a media and communications PhD.


Richard Littlejohn bemoans the state of the legal system for giving the Black Lives Matter protesters a 'slap on the wrist'

That should come in handy when the post-Brexit export drive gets into full swing.

Half of them are full-time students, at an age when most people are going out to work, paying taxes, mortgages and raising a family.

So was it too much to hope that when they turned up in court they would be given a rude awakening?

Sadly, yes.

Instead of handing down exemplary sentences, Judge Elizabeth Roscoe didn’t even fine them.

They were let off with conditional discharges, told to pay court costs of £95 each and ordered not to do it again.

No wonder the nine defendants were hugging each other and laughing their heads off outside the court afterwards.

What an insult to the thousands of people who had their lives disrupted by this ridiculous juvenile demonstration.

Goodness knows how much their puerile protest cost in terms of lost business, but I’m guessing it runs at the very least into hundreds of thousands of pounds.

What was Judge Roscoe thinking? Did she take pity on them because she’s from a comparable social background? We may never know.

And what kind of a deterrent is a conditional discharge? What does it say about the courts’ attitude to airport security, 15 years after 9/11?

Don’t forget that this self-indulgent rabble staged a military-style operation, using rubber dinghies and chains to breach a supposedly heavily guarded area.

OK, so they didn’t bring any planes down, but they stopped plenty taking off.

Meanwhile, Howard and Hilda from Hemel Hempstead — on their way to visit the grandchildren in Glasgow — can be strip-searched at security and threatened with arrest if they resist.

But a bunch of privileged public school wastrels can invade a runway and bring an international airport to a complete standstill — not just with impunity, but with a police escort.

And then be let off with less than the proverbial slap on the wrist by a super-lenient judge.

Makes you proud to be British.

Yeah, where is homeland sequeerity when you need them?

"Soros To EU – Borrow $34 Billion Year To Support Invaders, Destroy Europe...
...George Soros is one of the individuals most responsible for Europe, followed by Canada and soon the United States being overrun by unknown Islamists through his personal efforts, politicking and strategic bits of financing. He’s now gone on the record as stating that there is a necessary financial commitment on the part of the EU member nations as well as an agreement to allow up to 500,000 Islamists per year, with all of their negatives, to occupy territory within the various member states of their choice.

Soros is going even further to state that a huge cash injection is vital in order to prevent the collapse of the EU. We can hope he’s correct in his observations and that the cash injection never comes. The EU and the upcoming usurpation of the American government under its equivalent tie, TPP are disasters. Europe is a much better place as a continent than it is as a country.

Soros stated that the EU must spend $34 billion and accept 500,000 “migrants” every year in order to avoid “the EU being torn apart by the refugee crisis.”
