[IMC-UK-Features] Feature proposal: Heathrow Protesters Uncover Spy Plot

[Jeff Parks]

I agree with Ben that this is a poor feature, really just a
super-promoted newswire post.

It definitely shouldn't be linking to disruptive smear articles like this:
http://publish.indymedia.org.uk/en/2005/07/319686.html
 (see: http://publish.indymedia.org.uk/en/2005/07/319686.html?c=on#c125141 )

And this part:

"Heathrow owner BAA has now admitted to the Times newspaper that it
has been in contact with C2i, having previously claimed it had no
involvement in the spying operation."

needs rewording to match the source, which actually says:

<<BAA, which owns Heathrow, has repeatedly been targeted by Plane
Stupid. When asked by The Times whether it had any connection with C2i
or Toby Kendall, BAA said: "BAA can categorically state that we do not
have a relationship with C2i or the individual in question." After
being asked more detailed questions, BAA said it "had no contact with
the named individuals but was subject to an unsolicited pitch by C2i.
We rejected their invitation to enter into an arrangement with
them.">>

Perhaps:
"Heathrow owner BAA admitted to The Times newspaper that it had been
contacted with C2i, but claimed it had no involvement in the spying
operation."

l'n'r,
Jeff
