THE RIGHT DECISION
18/01/2009 00:00

GORDON Brown has shown good judgement and considerable courage in giving the go-ahead to a third runway at London's Heathrow airport. Some 50 Labour MPs are strongly opposed to the idea, among them a few who may lose their seats at the next general election as angry constituents likely to be affected by noise and congestion get their own back. The environmental lobby will have a field day as they oppose every move towards implementing the decision -- quite literally since one of the protesting groups has purchased a field just where the new runaway will be sited. No doubt a compulsory purchase order will take care of that problem but meanwhile it makes for good publicity.
