It seems that climate campaigners have won the case to stop the expansion of the third runway at Heathrow airport.
This comes in a week when Greta Thunberg is back in the country protesting and reading a speech probably written for her by her father from her telephone.
Whilst being a great believer in free speech it still seems a little ridiculous to have people travelling for miles to protest against other people who wish to travel and to this end I have a solution for this ridiculous situation.
Anyone who was protesting about Heathrow should have their passports taken away just in case they want to fly abroad to protest at a G8 Climate change conference as they have done in the past.
All the young people who are supporting Greta Thunberg should face severe penalties should any of them be found to have travelled to school in the back of daddies or mummies Range Rover or similar vehicle.
The COP26 United Nations climate change conference is taking place in Glasgow in November so if either of these groups wish to go there to protest I suggest they start walking now as it’s quite a long way away.

About The Diary of a Country Bumpkin
I am a retired actor, although to be honest I only retired because I wasn't getting any work due to losing my agent when I became a full time carer to my mother who had dementia. and the option of becoming an unemployed actor/waiter at my age was ludicrous, especially as my waiting skills are non-existent.
Having said I’m retired, I don’t think there really is such a thing as a retired actor for I am still available for work, I just don’t have an agent or any connections with regards to obtaining any worthwhile work.
I have over the years done student films when there is nothing else available, always low paid (if at all) the only incentive was always the promised copy of the finished film for your show reel which nine times out of ten always failed to materialise.
I spent many years looking after my aged mother and shortly after her death I was lucky enough to run into an ex-girlfriend of many years ago and our romance blossomed once again, resulting in us getting married in 2013.
My move to the countryside inspired me to write The Diary of a Country Bumpkin which tells of my continuing dilemmas in dealing with the rigors of the countryside from the unexpectedly large number of pollens, fungal moulds and hay products waiting to attack the unsuspecting townie.
I enjoy writing, see my play Dulce Et Decorum Est Pro Patria Mori on The Wireless Theatre Company, The Plays Wot I Wrote and The Battle of Barking Creek both available on Amazon.co.uk and am very fond of classic cars so my ideal occupation would be acting in a film I had written set in the 1930s/40s, we live in hopes.
I am delighted to say that since venturing to the countryside where space is not quite the premium it is in town, I have due to the availability of two double garages acquired more classic cars to form a small collection the pride of which are a 1947 Bentley Mk VI and a 2000 Bentley Arnage.
My various blogs and websites are continually evolving and I’m sure that by following the appropriate links you will find something which will edify or amuse.
I have written a number of different books all available on Amazon, so don't be shy should you feel the urge to purchase. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mr-Joe-Wells/e/B06XKWFQHT/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_1

People are so ignorant about what gives them freedom to protest. If they actually achieve their dreams of shutting airports, stopping use of carbon based fuels, there will be precious little transportation available for them to get to their protests.
Very true.
They should give up their climate wrecking cell phones too.
