This article totally downplays the ‘incident’ as a short inconvenience. In reality, the activists involved (from Lesbians & Gays Support the Migrants, Plane Stupid, and Stop Charter Flights – End Deportations) managed to actually stop the flight from departing.
One of the protesters at the scene, Emma Hughes, of End Deportations, said: “This is an unprecedented victory in the fight against mass deportations, which are racist, violent and kill people … This is just the beginning – we’ll keep fighting until the government agrees to stop charter flights and mass deportations once and for all.”
