[IMC-UK-Features] harmondsworth4 feature

[freethepeeps at aktivix.org]

I think putting it straight up as a feature, with the relevant text to reflect
the result would be the most straightforward way of doing it. It doesn't seem
necessary to have a 24 hour consultation over the result of the court case....

The rest of the text is good. Thanks Beetle
