If by 'trolling' you mean telling the truth, then I'm guilty as charged.
I am very concerned that so much of the (then) taxpayer's money was spent developing STN when everyone could see it was an error of judgement based on BAA's lobbying, and to enhance its value on privatization.
The fact that some time has passed doesn't change the fact that STN is in the wrong place, and has some serious shortcomings.
It has distorted competition in the London market for 20 years, which I consider to be disadvantageous to the aviation industry.
Yes, I support Luton Airport, and will continue to do so. When a new competitor springs up on your doorstep, subsidized to the hilt, and takes your business, you can't help but be concerned, and I am.

If that makers me a 'troll', fine, but my arguments will continue to be made, so either get used to the idea, or, if you can't take intelligent criticism, hit the 'ignore' button.
