Pensioners seized by Heathrow police - over 'inflammatory' protest T-shirts

This is how the Heathrow third runway will be forced through.

"Three pensioners were questioned and escorted from Heathrow after
police decided the Stop Airport Expansion slogan on their T-shirts was
‘inflammatory’.

Mike Lacey, John Wilding and his wife Tessa were stopped as they tried
to join a demonstration against plans for a third runway.

Police took their names, addresses and descriptions and followed them
out of a bus terminal, warning they would be arrested if they returned
within 24 hours..."

Had they been arrested what would have been the charge?

Aren't terminals actually private premises to which the public are
invited, but if you have been specificaly told NOT to enter terminal
grounds can you not be charged with trespass or something.
IANAL

Similar to Docks where the public can enter but only if they have
business on the docks.

Take your pick. The criminalisation laws are extensive, particularly
those covering political protest. They could if they wished have used
the anti-terrorism laws.
