Lib Dems say "Enough is enough at Heathrow"
Sat 26th Jan 2008
The government says that there are economic benefits associated with allowing Heathrow to continue to expand. Britain is the world's second largest exporter of services and the financial services industry uses 6 times more air travel than other businesses. The government says that 70% of foreign investment wants to, and does, locate within one hour of Heathrow. Allowing Heathrow to expand would create another 10000 jobs.

"It sounds to me like I should vote for Vince Cable. Vince Cable was against demutualising the building societies back in the 1990s when your government was doing that. Vince Cable was sending me as an economics editor emails every three weeks, about the levels of debt through the last five years and he has been instrumental in saying that the taxpayer needs to be protected nationalising the banks and in having the upside risks as well as the downside ones are the way to go.
