"Lying here on my nephew's grave". What idiots! Democratic processes are such that individuals, once a decision has been made, do nothing but make fools out of themselves. I'm assuming the Heathrow expansion went through some debate and a decision was made in accordance with UK law. Not everyone is going to be happy regardless of the decision. Linda O'Brien's nephew is dead, he is not going to care if his grave is moved. Jack Clarke at 96 years of age is ill equipped to fight a forced removal. Frustrating the efforts of a democratic society might make the newspapers happy but it is a pain in the butt Suck it up. The decision has been made. Be glad you're in a country where you WILL get compensated. Greenpeace makes me ashamed to be a Canadian. “Defy the bulldozers”. “Lying here on my nephew’s grave”. What idiots!
