"Plane Stupid is Britain's first national direct action campaign group opposing the growth in aviation and the government's plans for airport expansion."
Aviation is the fastest growing cause of climate change and a major threat to the earth and everything on it.
But rather than reining the industry in and trying to reduce demand for flying, the government is promoting it through tax breaks and through its plans for massive expansion: the equivalent of a new Heathrow every five years.
Plane Stupid demands a fundamental rethink of the government's 2003 Aviation White Paper which predicts that air travel will treble by 2030: an increase in annual plane journeys from 180 million to 501 million.
We want to see airport expansion plans scrapped, a tax on aviation fuel, and and plane tickets, and an end to short haul flights.

Climate activists glued to doors at East Midlands Airport
On the afternoon of Saturday 16th June, climate campaigners glued themselves to the doors of the short-haul East Midlands airport to draw attention to the environmental impacts of flying as part of a European day of action on short-haul flights called by pressure group Airport Watch.
Two men from climate action group, Plane Stupid, have caused disruption by supergluing themselves to the passenger entrances to the airport. Supporters are there handing out leaflets to airport customers encouraging them not to fly next time, and a banner carried by helium-filled balloons was also released in the departure lounge bearing the slogan ‘Let’s fry’.

If you make a revolution, make it for fun,
don't make it in ghastly seriousness,
don't do it in deadly earnest,
do it for fun.
Don't do it just because you hate people,
do it just to spit in their eye.
Don't do it for the money,
do it and be damned to the money.
Don't do it for equality,
do it because we've got too much equality
and it would be fun to upset the apple-cart
and see which ways the apples would go a-rolling.
Don't do it for the working classes.
Do it so we can of all us be little aristocracies on our own
and kick our heels like jolly escaped asses.
Don't do it, anyhow, for international Labour.
Labour is the one thing a man has had too much of.
Let's abolish labour, let's have done with labouring!
WORK CAN BE FUN, SO LET'S ENJOY IT; THEN IT'S NOT LABOUR.
LET'S HAVE IT SO! LET'S MAKE A REVOLUTION FOR FUN!
....
LABOUR OF LOVE!!!
