This is an excellent article from Robert Watts, the Deputy Political Editor at the Telegraph. Check it out!

Another Tory minister demands u-turn on Heathrow – Telegraph.

For me, the article cites further evidence of yet another potential U-turn from the Government, and evidence screaming the case for increasing demand by infrastructure capital spending.

Regular readers of this blog will be familiar with my gold-standard for Government, namely:

Strong leadership
Overarching vision
Coordinated and carefully analyzed strategy, and
Fully risked assessed, properly costed and effectively managed delivery plans

I am not a historian but I wonder just how badly historians will judge David Cameron’s Government?

Against other post-war UK governments, where will it rank?

Of course, there is one other final thought. If one were to conduct a theory of constraint analysis at Heathrow, the real constraint is not the number of runaways, it’s the speed with passports are viewed by border staff!

This is an excellent article from Paul Krugman, the liberal, Nobel-winning, economist in his NYT blog. It’s really well worth a read. Check it out!
