Plane hysteria

Great article by Andy Neather Let the many decide airports, not the few in the Evening Standard (6th July) about the London airport crisis or debate or propaganda (depending on your point of view).

Every day, it seems, some 'expert' squeals that the world will end if new runways or airports are not built in or around London.

Why not turn the whole of England into one great runway, and so bring about the birth of Airstrip One, the totalitarian land of George Orwell's '1984', complete with the Ministry of Truth, which could move into the 'Shard' building ?

Andy is also the Standard's wine critic and tweets rather amusingly at times (@hernehillandy).
