Extinction Rebellion target private jets at Luton airport in Valentine’s Day protest
Extinction Rebellion protesters blocked the private jet entrance at Luton airport on Tuesday morning, in a Valentine’s Day protest.
The group parked a boat in front of the gates to the private terminal, with some activists attaching themselves to it.
