| Breaking news on the BBC website: "Campaigners have won a High Court battle over plans for a third runway at Heathrow Airport. Councils, residents and green groups had said the government's approval of the runway was flawed by "conspicuously unfair" public consultations. The group argued that the decision was at odds with climate change targets. Lord Justice Carnwath, sitting in London, upheld their argument that the government's policy support for a third runway will need to be looked at again. The Department for Transport vowed to "robustly defend" the third runway plan." Ha! Gordon Brown, Geoff Hoon, Ruth Kelly, Jim FitzPatrick, Lord Adonis, Lord Mandelson: Your boys took a hell of a beating! |
