Climate camp update: send in the clowns

According to the update board in the climate camp info tent, the various groups of protesters have had various degrees of success, not least a troupe of clowns. They're among the campers who have made it to the BAA offices at Heathrow, although apparently they've been penned in by police. Other teams have also made it, despite a heavy police presence, and 250 are currently coralled behind the BAA building. Others remain at large. Elsewhere, a group have been in Sipson village marking out where the planned third runway will be. Not much of the village will be left if the expansion goes ahead, something many local residents are naturally keen to avoid. And a samba band have been spotted on a bridge over the M25, while banners have been hung from bridges over the M4. On a darker note, reports are coming in of protesters being charged by police with batons and medics are tending to head injuries. Update: As well as going via fields and over fences, some campers have had no problem getting to the BAA offices - they've been taking the bus.
