| If you click on Claire's link and then click further on the Guardian's link to the info about the author, you read "John Stewart is a transport and environmental campaigner. Currently he chairs AirportWatch, the national umbrella network campaigning against airport expansion. He chaired the coalition which opposed a third runway at Heathrow in his capacity as the chair of HACAN, which represents residents under the Heathrow flight path". This is a polemic - not a piece of informed, objective journalism by a disinterested writer. It doesn't take us any further to an understanding of what is actually going on. Promises made at the last election by Westminster candidates, will have no sway in whatever decision is eventually made. |
