Black Lives Matter UK shut down Heathrow Airport
http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-36983852<snip>
Black Lives Matter protesters caused simultaneous 'gridlock' on the M4 motorway at Heathrow and in Nottingham, in a day of anti-racist activism.
Campaigners lay on the tarmac on the slip road to the airport in London and across tram tracks in Nottingham city centre early on Friday morning.
The co-ordinated act came a day after the fifth anniversary of the death of Mark Duggan, who was shot by police.
A number of activists across the country have been arrested.
