Now most of the British workers come from abroad, we will need bigger airports for them to travel to see their families. Not to mention the mass exodus of the British middle classes.

BNP (YAWN). I bet they would introduce a Brown/Black/White Tax depending on your skin pigments. White is obviously tax exempt.At least I will be ok.

[theleftiswrong]
Well they would solve many environmental problems if they came to power. There would be less people here because those with civilized values/wrong ethnicity would leave or be "removed". Air travel in would be drastically reduced as no-one would want to visit a Nazi state. Industry would grind to a halt because monomaniacal racists cannot run an economy. So yes really green!

"By the way. Tip for the present. Just because you use too many full-stops. And create too many sentences. It doesn't make what you say any more sensible/correct. In fact it just shows you lack the grammar to debate.

It is a man's job as a British Airways pilot. I mean hading the controls of such a large object to a woman the consequences are unthinkable. We may be able to laugh about womens' inability to park but landing an airplane is a little more serious.

I have to agree with all of the ‘anti Chang’ posts.

He clearly wasn’t bullied sufficiently at school – me and my mates would have nicked the ‘emergency money’ that his mum would give him and spent it on sweets.

In reply to [joemc00].
I suggest you go find out a bit mate and realise just how much environmentally unfriendly agriculture is...for vegetarian food.
Cows are not the only problem.
I remember reading somewhere (figures are off but the idea you will understand) that 50 years ago, it took 1 gallon of petrol to provide for 50 tonnes of food, now it takes 50 gallons of petrol to provide 50 tonnes of food.
So forget eating greens as a way of being green.

We need to EAT to survive, we don't need to eat meat seven days a week to survive.

Or the same person using a number of identities. Funny that. Seems some people can't take comments and have to think all criticism is deeply personal!
Maybe that is why I have been needlessly insulted here yet again. At least today it didn't mention the shape of my eyes or skin colour - it makes 'poohead' look almost grown-up.

Steve Butler, Basingstoke, United Kingdom
People usually back up and form their opinions with some analysis. Your posts simply re-state you opinion, but don't contain any analysis. Result - you have no credibility on this issue.
A public inquiry into plans to expand Stansted Airport begins today. British Airport Authority wants to increase capacity in the Essex airport to help meet future demand for air travel.
In a letter to the Times, a group of campaigners including Greenpeace and the Campaign to Protect Rural England warned that the inquiry had wider implications.
The letter says at the proposed rate of growth, aviation would "wipe out the emissions savings made from all other sectors" and consign climate change targets "to the dustbin of history".
Should we take fewer flights to help the environment? Or do you welcome expansion and the freedom air travel offers? Do you live near the airport? If so, what do you think of the plans? Send us your views and experiences.
