Edwina Currie demonstrating why politicians know absolutely naff all about aviation policy.
She says that Boris' Fantasy Island is needed; and the reason why is that it would be EASIER for "Eastern" flights, as they wouldn't have to travel over London. And transatlantic flights should remain at LHR as they wouldn't have to go over London.
You can't make this up.
Do you have a reference to that? All I get is her making stupid comments about Paralympic athletes.
Presumably, by her logic, "western" trains should all terminate at Paddington and "eastern" trains at Liverpool St or Fenchurch St? Thankfully, we're at long last trying to sort that relic of crap Victorian planning out!
