Well done PS!
"Over twenty environmental protesters have this morning breached
security at Edinburgh Airport and blockaded the entrance to the
private jet company, Greer Aviation.
The activists, from radical direct action group Plane Stupid Scotland,
pledged that today’s actions come as part of a nationwide campaign to

The protestors, with banners reading 'This planet has no emergency
exits,' and dressed in business atire with individual private jet
wings strapped to their backs highlighted that unregulated business
jet use must be brought into the aviation debate..."

Your commitment to this group is undoubted, but right now we would all
prefer it if you would focus your efforts on preparing Vince's report.

Indeed its well overdue now. Wasn't it the beginning of December when it
was promised by? Not even a progress report or some reasons for the delay.

There was a certain amount of the usual bluster about whether or not it was
his idea but since it has been proven that it was all his own it's gone

"gone remarkably quiet", replace with "the usual deathly silence (apart from
starting even more car related threads)".

No, they need to show where and why they're acting like they do.
