Climate camp admit sending email
Updated on 14 August 2007
An email confirms that protest organisers at Heathrow have been telling people to bring smart clothes and air steward uniforms for their direct action against the airport
The campaigners have pledged that their protest won't affect the millions of passengers using Heathrow this week.
However, it emerged today that organisers of the nearby climate camp had urged activists to bring smart clothes and air stewardess uniforms.
The call came in an e-mail seen by Channel 4 News, but protesters insist it does not mean they're planning to take direct action against the airport.
What the email said:
The email from process@climatecamp.org.uk had the subject line of 'Even more stuff to bring!' and the following words:
Your climate camp holiday check-list could now include:
- smart office clothes (shoes, shirts, ties etc)- material, banners, decorations
- air steward/ess uniforms
- and, finally, your bike! Distances are long at Heathrow
Our reporter Nick Martin joined campaigners at the climate camp, just a few hundred yards north of Heathrow's perimeter fence. Watch our report.
