Thumbs up The more attention this gets - the better!

Nice post!
For all of us that have to work and/or live in the Infrastructural / part-specious-Security environment that is the SE UK & London (esp. for air travel), it's a source of hope to see the City Moguls lining up to greet GB with their publicity baseball bats at the carry!
Hope this is the start of some serious heat for GB, as his legacy as Chancellor starts to come home to roost, just before he get's the address change to next door...
It appears confirmation as PM, assuming no late contestants emerge, would happen 7 weeks after Blair slips him one of the greatest spinning wet Gilberts in recent political history.
Suspect we will see a push for a vote of no confidence, hopefully very soon after - if only...
Am not concerned with which party grips the infrastructural/security problems here - rather that the lobby to get some movement forward gains strength - UNDER 5 YRS TILL THE LONDON 2012 OLYMPICS!
For starters, force BAA to sort the flows through the Terminals esp. LHR - of course we want the best security but the necessary manpower, machines & training MUST be provided to avoid the current scleroses.
Allow drive-through cx-in/security to jet for more prem customers - sod the BAA franchise funnel scam.
NIKE 3rd RWY/T6 at LHR & 2nd at LGW, STN etc.
Eurostar link Ashford-LGW-LHR T5-mainline railways W & N.
Er, that's just what came to mind during my ranting self-therapy!!!
Message reads: IT'S ABOUT TIME! (puns intended)
Feel a lot better now
