Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

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?!

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.
