Suffra-Jets

Suffra-Jets
Activists protesting against the expansion of Heathrow airport who, to attract media attention, sport the red-sash of the Suffragette movement.

The Daily Mail reported:

Three women from the Climate Suffragettes group wearing red sashes hurled bricks at [the Department of Transport's] doors in the early hours in protest at the Government’s approval for the airport’s expansion. The makeshift missiles were wrapped in notes which read: “No third runway, the Suffra-jets are back.”
(Suffragettes were female activists who, during the early twentieth century, agitated, sometimes violently, for votes for women.)
