Previous plans abandoned as passenger numbers dropped.
Expansion of foreign-owned airport would release millions of tonnes of CO2 while benefiting a few rich flyers.
How about cutting rail fares?

Ideology of privatisation.
Monopolies privatized.
Political system bought by corporations.

Ineffective regulation.
No one listens to the people.
Don't believe private is the best.

Since 7 October 2023 an average of 27 children have been killed in Gaza by Israel every single day.
A whole classroom of children wiped out everyday by a genocidal regime, even while queuing for food and water.
And still the UK government sells them weapons. Shame on them.

Brexit has clearly shown that we NEVER LOST our sovereignty in the EU. We were always free to leave and make our own way. So the main argument for Brexit is gone. It's now time to admit that Brexit doesn't work and to accept that we're stronger with the ENHANCED SOVEREIGNTY of EU membership.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.
