Boris has done a runner , and will be absent for the Crucial , Heathrow expansion vote tonight,
after promising to lie down in front of the bulldozers, if it happens.
Better still, keep him on, promote him to P/M in the summer of 2021, prior to the next general election,in 2022. Then a double whammy . Boris, and his party will
go.
237SJ, I think what NJ is saying is that regardless of the state of play at the moment, with Heathrow as a hub for all these international destinations, that unless Heathrow grows with the times it will lose out to places like Shipol or wherever. Because they will have the ability to take destinations and traffic away from the UK.
It’s all very well being at the forefront now but if you want to stay there you have to keep up.
All of Theresa May's past statements opposing expansion have mysteriously disappeared from her website - including speeches she gave claiming it would be bad for her constituents.
I would perhaps have some sympathy if this didn't fit a wider pattern of *constant* lying, backtracking, prevaricating on every single damned issue. Even by the standards of what is normal for a politician, Theresa May stands out as remarkably two-faced. She just lies about absolutely everything.
no - - he came you dope ! the original is about the coming of the Lord .... Thessalonians. altho the rest of your post seems to liken Boris to the Chosen Saviour - bleeeeeuch !
The prime point is that planes' exhaust fumes stink; their rubbish fuel is polluting the environment where ever they fly. Then there's the din they make, day and night.
When these issues can be solved -- better, drastically reduced -- then NIMBY et al might adopt a more positive attitude. Their current one is understandable.
^ and from what i have seen perusing some older posts , their last post yet again confirms my thoughts...yes there is definitely a village with a gate gently swinging in the breeze waiting for its occupant to come home and take up their rightful position...
"making Boris her Foreign Minister, or even having the Muppet in her cabinet at all."
perhaps youd like to let us know how a Muppet managed to get so far in their career but an obviously highly educated and intelligent person like yourself only manages to get on a board making snidey , comments and generally sniping all the time..i'm genuinely puzzled and amused at the same time
