The Government has given the go-ahead for a third runway at Heathrow. Their argument to counter the climate change lobbyists is that they will only allow new, more efficient engined planes and that there will be a great reduction in planes circling waiting for a landing spot.
To me that all sounds plausible and is probably correct...but I can't oppose those people who don't believe it, because this government has lied to us in the past.
Personally, I think the environmentalists have got it wrong again. Banning things and restricting access never works...people don't like being told what they can't do. Instead the solution must be one that gives people a better life whilst also reducing emissions. Not easy to achieve, but the only viable approach (in my humble opinion!).
Anyway, enough of my wittering, let's have the questions!
- Today in 1982, Britain resumed full diplomatic relations with which country
for the first time since 1534? - Actor Bernard Lee (right), who died today in 1981, is probably best remembered for playing which role in the first eleven "Bond" films?
- Best known for her debut 1984 album “Diamond Life”, which singer was born today in 1959 in Nigeria?
