When government disenfranchises the people, the people must resort to extraordinary measures to remind government that it is servant to the people, not master. If the expression of disenfranchisement is only made with green custard, ministers should regard themselves as fortunate – for the time being.

We should take heart – they’ve spent billions in labelling us all as terrorists, creating a surveillance state where data and DNA are routinely gathered (and lost), and they STILL can’t stop a minister being covered in green custard.

Oh, and yes – a little correction to the BBC: in the subsequent interview with Leila Deen, you stated that Mandelson was “democratically elected” and this his decisions thus reflected the peoples’ will. NO! Mandleson was NOT elected – he was appointed in a rush by Gordon Brown to the House of Lords so that he could be part of government. In other words, totally *UN*elected and *UN*democratic – a common factor when looking at the way that Labour currently operate.

Totally agree H Sinjun. My personal opinion of Mandelson is unprintable but a more outrageous act is hard to think of. This woman has previous form for public attention seeking and she should not be allowed to get away with it.
I must admit that I had some sympathy with those who disagreed with another runway at Heathrow – but if this woman is an example of those either running the group or those who sympathise with it, they can count me out. If this woman’s actions was an example of their judgement and behaviour, their case must be wrong. I bet many others who saw this young idiot also think the same. She has done her case no good at all.

Professor Stern called climate change ‘the biggest market failure in history’.

Who is acting for the sake of our grandchildren’s economy, mea culpa?

Taxpayers are already supporting the aviation industry to the tune of an estimated £13 billion a year in subsidies and hidden costs.

The aviation industry doesn’t pay tax on aviation fuel or VAT.

Could mea culpa explain how ordinary taxpayers, living through difficult economic times, where thousands are losing their jobs every week, will benefit from the expansion of an industry, which cannot possibly be described as ‘sustainable’ by any stretch of the imagination?

Surely our tax money should be used in ways which benefit our society and put our econmy onto a sustainable footing.

Let’s instead invest in a Green New Deal.

For the sake of the economy.
