I suppose that in such a short programme they were right to focus on two issues - ie noise and pollution - but I was a bit disappointed they didn't mention that the economic figures don't stack up either or the very real danger of a crash over London. I thought it was quite understated - the phantom plane that will solve the pollution problems that no aircraft manufacturer even knows anything about, the dodgy figures, the collusion, the complete fait accompli in the face of all the evidence are all strong threads but were quite downplayed. It is quite clear that one day, if it goes ahead, when it's too late (by then they will claim that after all the investment it's too late to undo) the whole thing is shady, unjustified, wrong and a disaster waiting to happen. Another terrible mistake by this appalling, incompetent government who are sowing the seeds of economic and climate disaster for decades to come. |
