Joke politicians or not, the possibility is that another major airport in the SE will happen, and will totally block routes for GA VFR traffic except for some highly dangerous funnels.. .Let's hope the controllers are more Heathrow than Stanstead or GA will be strangled.. .My thoughts are that a low level radar service for ALL traffic, to be required to be on the same frequencies,is an inevitable saftey requirement.. .I am not sure I would want to be one of the controllers though.
