I guess Mr. Stewart has had his say, and isn't prepared to rationally discuss any further. Oh well.
Roghead raises an interesting issue. Groups (such as HACAN, HANT etc) are very vocal in the protest against existing situations. Yet you never hear intelligent proposals as to how to make the situation better for all. A blanket "reduce the number jets" and "stop airport expansion" are coming from a very old and tatty song sheet. I hold the utmost respect for individuals such as Roghead who admits (like many of us!) not to have answers or solutions, but by the sounds of it, hasn't joined 'rent-a-mob' (I tried not to resort to name slinging, but our crane sitters last year were from Stafford - isn't exactly close to LHR is it!)
