A Met Police spokesman said: “Officers are currently dealing with a protest near the inbound tunnel of Heathrow airport. They were called at 7:42am on Thursday, November 26.

“No arrests have been made at this time.”

Back in July this year, 12 Plane Stupid demonstrators cut a hole in fence at 3.30am and chained themselves to objects on the runway. This caused a lot delays and cancellations at Heathrow.
