    I think this was expected from the supreme court since last Tuesday at least. Meanwhile:

    “I still don’t think the third runway is going to happen,” said Tim Crosland, a lawyer at Plan B

    We hope. Meanwhile this is an interesting one:

    Most flights from the UK are taken for pleasure and just 20% of the UK population take more than two-thirds of international flights.

    Destroy the planet ecosystems etc. ... for pleasure. Madness.

    I've been campaigning forever against the 3rd runway. Apart from the expected pollution from the planes, there is increased road traffic pollution and of course the noise pollution, already very bad. This expansion would make life unbearable for people living under these flight paths. Trust me, as it is, you can smell the kerosene as they fly over.
