Hi people,

I don't quite understand what the criteria are for something being in
the middle column on the UK page, because I'm new, so I'm following this
with interest.

I would just like to say, for the sake of iggy and any climate rush
people who feel hard done-by, that your feature was chosen by the
leeds-bradford collective as the first one that we wanted to 'borrow'
from the UK page. Perhaps a dubious honour but it has been in pride of
place on our regional page for the last few days.

Also can I just point out iggy that there's a rather 'cheeky' bit of
code in your post of 1809 on 10.1.09: your 'g.giggles at gmail.com'
actually points to 'giggles at riseup.net' (I'm just replacing '@' with
'at' so nobody's mail reader messes with them) - can you comment on that?

All the best,
Mark

It draws together newswire pieces about the previous climate rush article and the info about the coming action on Monday. Yes it is blatantly an announcement presented as a feature but there have been plenty of those in the past. This is major news and the action on monday will generate plenty of newswire content. Today the evening standard front page was the runway three decision announcement which will be confirm early next week, possibly even monday. On top of that there was the plane stupid sentencing a couple of days ago which would fit really well into this feature.
