Must have been raining.
One group of people break in through security fences and occupy a runway.
Another group of people consists of ordinary people who want to go and see family etc.
Which group gets the armed anti-terrorist police? Anybody still in any doubt?Comment

The trouble is, these people know they are going to be arrested. It's part of why they do it so they can get further publicity form the trial, and their fines will be paid for by some anti-capitalist, left-wing organisation.
They should have a minimum 10 year sentence for trespassing on an airfield. That would make some stop and consider before doing it.
Gits.When money ceases to be the tool by which men deal with one another, then men become the tools of men. Blood, whips and guns--or dollars. Take your choice - Ayn Rand, Atlas.Comment

No: it hurt Amanda Jeirud going to see her parents in Sweden. Trine Maaetoft and her 2 infant children going on their only trip home this year. Anita Kelleher who had been due to fly to the Irish Republic to attend her father's funeral.
And probably a few contractors going out to work, without which no pay.
Never mind, at least it hurt somebody: result.Comment

I'd like to see some of the people inconvenienced by the protesters launch claims for damages due to flight cancellations, delays etc.
It's one thing to parade down the street in an orderely fashion waving placards.
It's quite another to break in to a high security area, endanger the lives of innocents and cause financial misery and grief to strangers.
Yeah they got publicity all right. 100% negative publicity from all the poor souls at the airport who now hate them with a passion.Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
