And finally…

Campaigners opposing a third runway at Heathrow airport have bought some of the land earmarked for the runway and are preparing a legal battle to stop the airport’s expansion. Greenpeace has bought a field the size of a football pitch and plans to invite protestors to dig underground tunnels across it and divide it up into thousands of tiny plots each with a separate owner, making BAA negotiate with each owner, delaying the compulsory purchase orders. The government is expected to approve the new runway this week.
