Avast ye, sky-lubbers, Silver be working for a living, Jim lad.

Let me get to somewhere with a decent internet, where I can read what Boris Boy has been saying....

;-)



Update:
I like this article. The main opposition to this proposal is from the unions. Not content with destroying all our industry in the '80s (and all their members jobs), they want to destroy the regeneration of Britain too:
'Boris Island' Thames Estuary airport plan to be included in official Government consultation | Mail Online

This is perhaps why the Labour Party did nothing - not one single major infrastructure progect - in their 12 years in power. Like the Communists of Russia, they thought we could live of the hard industry of the Victorians (Tsars) for the next 200 years.

Ain't going to happen chaps. We either invest, or die - like The USSR did in the early '90s (a supposed world power without a motorway or a train that could do more than 60mph).

Learn from history, folks. We either invest, or die.
