I agree with you Geezer, but environmental damage and airports reveals the political hypocrisy, lies, and deceit that surrounds the environmental movement, and the impact it has on current politics and our daily lives.

School children are indoctrinated into believing that a mobile phone charger is a threat to the environment. We are that we should walk and cycle everywhere in order to save the planet. But ever-expanding airports and unrestricted flying are perfectly acceptable.

The countryside is being destroyed by the planting of practically useless and grossly inefficient wind turbines, while energy hungry airports are politically encouraged to expand. The car, one of the most efficient forms of family transport, is politically demonised as a monster earth killer that is supposedly seriously depleting the politically claimed dwindling oil reserves. Yet oil hungry and seriously polluting aircraft are politically acceptable to the supposedly environmentalist political elite, many of whom are technically and scientifically ignorant – with few of them ever having held down a proper job.

We are all having our access to essential energy supplies rationed by high prices in order to 'save the planet'. While many sick and infirm elderly, and young families, are put at serious risk by the political denial of essential and affordable energy supplies. Businesses are having their costs artificially and unnecessarily increased, with ever-rising costs and high unemployment being passed on to the end consumer. But airports and aircraft enjoy almost complete exclusion from any threat to the politically sensitive environment.

The hypocrisy of the environmentalist political elite is plain to see, and yet the political traitors continue to pour out their lies and take us all for fools. The king has no clothes, and an increasing number of us are prepared to tell him he has no clothes. And when the king recognises that sufficient of us know he has no clothes, then we can expect the king to get very angry indeed, and resort to extreme unpleasantness.

It would be completely cynical of me to suggest the first knock back was to give some credibility to the 'no, not here' movement.

This new scheme will be bigger and better (for BAA) than the old scheme and will get approval.

Boris knows the airport in the East is a no go but suggested it purely as a distraction.

Sounds like a political thriller doesn't it.

If I was John Le Carre (I am not) and I wanted to write a conspiracy thriller about highly controversial airport expansion in a high density urban area I couldn't have developed a better plan to get the boldest idea through could I.

Ever get the feeling you have all just been played?

Sounds incredible doesn't it but who could honestly put their hands on their hearts and say this has not been planned as thus.

Of course another complete co-incidence would be the unravelling of the red tape around public enquiries into the planning aspects as per Terminal 5 which took years to overcome. No such problem with runway 3.

Isn't at least one ex Labour minister on the board of BAA now?

first you create a problem by uncontrolled immigration into the Country, then once the natives are settled down, create the need for them to escape into far off green spaces, vacated by those who now call England home, as a senior second class Englishman, rapidly losing faith in this once great land of my birth, no longer feel like calling it home, the pride I felt during the dark days of WW2, has left me with the feeling of why did we bother, in fact it would most likely have been better now, had we lost!

To the countryside of a different country. I think it was probably the best thing I've ever done in my life.

My In-laws are near Malvern and it's a different world. Rush hour is 4 cars doing 10mph under the speed limit

I remember driving through Pershore a few years ago at 07:00 and I was the only car on the road - bliss

Were those four cars driven by an Etonian Tory MP, a New Labour MP, Nigel Farage and Billy Bragg
