Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Haringey Labour Leader comments on the appeal of Zac Goldsmith
The Standard (article) — Tory MP Zac Goldsmith announces bid to run for London Mayor.
One subject that would appear to unite all the Council with an important plank of Mr Goldsmith, is opposition to a third runway at Heathrow airport (I seem to recall that Haringey passed a unanimous motion at Full Council about that).
Would Zac back Boris Island?!

To be honest, Alan, I don't see why we need a third runway anywhere but, if there is to be one, why at Heathrow? Let's spread the joy around
Personally, having seen the chaos on the M20 caused by French workers striking at Calais I think we should go for a second Channel Tunnel but to Belgium, this time.

How about a vast drawbridge in Dover that can be raised and lowered as needed by the political climate?
I came across some official figures for job creation as part of a debate in 1991 about a proposed new airport outside Chicago, Illinois. These highly reliable and utterly scientific estimates made clear that "200,000 permanent jobs" ; "500,000 jobs" ; "247,000 jobs" ; "as many as 350,000" ; "up to 170,000" ; loads 'n' loadsa new jobs would be created/ generated / magically appear.

There's spare capacity at London City, Stansted and Luton . If some air traffic (say IntraUK or N.European) was transferred from Heathrow, there could be a solution. Model exists in some parts of the world.
