Thousands more homes face life in shadow of the flightpath (**)

The campaign to halt the expansion of Heathrow will intensify
dramatically after it emerged that thousands [more] of homes will be
blighted by new flight paths to handle a massive increase in traffic
from the airport. [These cover huge swathes of west and north London
incl. Chelsea and Kensington, and much of north Middlesex, Berks and
Bucks].
As the week of climate change protests reached a climax yesterday with
a blockade of the headquarters of the airport operator, BAA, a
coalition of 12 communities - two million people - unveiled a new
battle over noise pollution in London and the home counties, which
will be the inevitable outcome from a planned third runway at
Heathrow.

You might be on to a good idea there Doug. Given the desire of many people
to move around, it would make a lot of sense.

I think a lot of them move around to get away from tossers like Doug.

Yes and we could forget about local food too and instead just rely on
imported when farmer's fields are concreted over to make way for more
runways and roads. Our tourist trade would suffer but there would
probably be plenty of scenery left in the rest of the world for the
hypermobile to visit before that gets concreted over in turn. One
thing though, a lack of greenery world wide would increase CO2 and GW.
Still, why should the hypermobile worry, they won't be alive when
their grandchildren suffer.
