The Mayor of London yesterday submitted his response to the Airport Commission, arguing that anything less than a four-runway hub would still leave many important business destinations and emerging markets without direct flights from the UK.
He's actually making the case for LHR in spite of himself. The eventual reult will be we need a four runway hub airport but we can't afford to concrete over Essex or the Thames estuary, lose tens of thousands of blue collar jobs in West London, close LHR and move the centre of business focus to the other side of London. Clever chap Bojo in spite of himself.
Cripes! Time for whif whaf
