The Heathrow protesters have just made it onto the roof of the Houses of Parliament.
How on earth did they get up there?

Somebody's going to get a big kick up the rear for this one..

Security :o.............. With this government it is against their human rights if we don't let them climb up on a roof/aircraft/oil rig etc  ;D

Even I don't think anyone falling off the roof of the Houses of Parliament would be in a position to sue. Even a daredevil type like Richard Hannay would struggle to survive a fall like that! ;)

They would all survive falling off, it is the stop at the end of the fall that is the problem ;D

how come no one has pictures of them scaling the A320 at Heathrow?

interesting nonetheless... I've been against the O'Hare expansion from the start... but apparently Daley refuses to care about the 20 suburbs going to be affected by this...

then again.. O'Hare has 6 runways, Heathrow: 2.

I have one thing to say to all of these protestors running around, get a job.  I'm too busy with work and other things to be running around figuring out ways around security to fly a banner.  ::)

I managed to fly back from a biking holiday on the Alps with a Swiss army knife in my hand luggage. And then the other day, still not realizing it was in there i flew from Gatwick to Sofia with it still there, just in the side pocket...plain as day! It was the security in Bulgaria that actually picked it up!  

Thus i conclude all this security doesn't really seem to work!
