[Imc-uk-features] proposal to tick UK on airport feature

[WietsE]

Hiya,

I propose to tick UK on the airport blockade feature today. The article is
currently on the Notts startpage. It was discussed previously and I
haven't found the time to expand the feature and propose it.

I agree with GDM about the fact that 'it would be nice to be able to link
to more articles in the newswire (if there are any?) or other independent
sources, or similar/background articles etc.'

But no one else seems to have taken this on and it might take a few days
before I find the time to do this.

I now propose to tick UK on the current feature, so it will appear on the
UK startpage. As Joss from Plane Stupid just emailed to this list: 'Plane
Stupid shut down an airport for over 4 hours. Planes grounded, others
diverted. One of the biggest climate change direct actions in Britain, in
terms of CO2 prevented and economic damage to the industry. Why isnt this a
feature?'

In whatever form, this news should have been up ages ago.

Wietse.
