News from the Prime Minister's office :

BBC News - David Cameron vows to boost infrastructure projects

"David Cameron has promised an 'all-out mission' to kick-start infrastructure projects and revive the economy."

Ah, that's interesting. Somehow seems to be completely the opposite of what they intend for Heathrow's infrastructure.

"But he urged people to be optimistic, pointing to growing trade with India and China".

More interest. Remind me, Prime Minister, what is the ONLY airport in the UK that airlines find it commercially worthwhile to operate to India and China from ? Would it be Heathrow by any chance ? The airport with no more slots at all available for such flights ?

"Mr Cameron spelled out a three-point plan based on confronting Britain's debts, improving competitiveness and building global trade."

Right then. So we are going to build global trade by appointing a Transport Minister who HATES, publically, the only significant airport for global business travel from Britain
