Extinction Rebellion co-founder Gail Bradbook has said on Monday they are planning to disrupt Heathrow Airport by flying to drones at the exclusion zone.
Bradbook said speaking at a demonstration at Bristol Bridge, โDrones are the toys that you buy for children theyโre not inherently evil things even though theyโve been used in bad ways.
โTheyโve said ok thereโs this exclusion zone around Heathrow where you canโt fly drones and weโve gone oh that’s interesting because what weโre about is breaking the rules.
โSo, it will be right on the edge of that zone, it will be preannounced, and it will be a head height little toy, little crappy toy from a crappy toy shop.
โNobody is getting, threatened attacked or anything.
โThe intention is to ground aviation and to have this conversation about how can you say youโre telling the truth when youโre planning a third runway at Heathrow that will emit the same amount of carbon of I think it’s Cyprus
โWe have to start closing down some of the infrastructure.โ
