Sadiq Khan not happy with London City having more flights at the weekend. Seems like there's going to be a long fight (well, everyone expected a long fight even if they didn't admit it publicly) with plenty of haggling involved

OED definition of “woke”:
“alert to and concerned about social injustice and discrimination”
About time people learned to stop using this word in the above context as an insult; unless of course one thinks social injustice and discrimination is fine…..
I’m not sure opposing increased flight operations at an airport in east London makes a person a “specimen”, or any worse, or better, than someone who supports it.
Odd argument.

No. OED is the Oxford English Dictionary. The authority on the English language. It may not suit your narrative, but the definition above is accurate. Don’t like it? Get in touch with the OED.
I’ve no doubt when people use the word “woke” they are either too stupid, too brainwashed (by media owned by non-dom tax-avoiders), or are wilfully ignorant as to its meaning. I suppose it’s a gentler word those that some would like to use…..

Seems very strange having a pop at Khan over this. Wasn’t it the case that in 2016 he reversed Boris’ effective mayoral veto on a compulsory purchase order that allowed the airport to grow to where it is able to today?

I’d have said with great certainty based on comparative issues elsewhere that its the ‘non-woke’ who would have most to say on noise issues, further demonstrating the above poster has no clue what they’re talking. For their own good and wellbeing they might want to leave the Mail on the shelf and not visit the local neighbourhood Facebook groups for a few days

As a local resident (the departure route for LCY 27 and arrival route for 27L/R at LHR seem to intersect above my house) I am very much in favour of LCY expansion particularly if it leads to all-year-round services to FAO rather than just 1x daily in summer.

You could always commute to Southend, I'm sure they would welcome the business! Ops only x2 week but flights available for £22!

A spokesperson for Newham Council said this afternoon that “the refusal reflects the council’s continued concerns over the noise and environmental impact of the airport on those living nearby. These concerns were shared by a number of other boroughs who also submitted objections to the proposals.”

more likely they are scared because the greens won two seats on Newham Council providing them with some opposition (Newham Council has been 100% Labour for the past 10 years at least). Nothing with the airport has changed. They are just being political and making sure they can fight their opposition when the time comes.

Remember North Somerset Council objected to Bristol Airport expansion but once it was referred to Government was given green light and a High Court appeal was rejected so I'm sure this is not the end.
