I refer to Jim Pasqual's letter last week 'MPs must ignore airport whingeing'.

Mr Pasqual, you really need your head looked at.

There is an extraordinary difference between protecting a country and simply maintaining the economy to boost the greedy pockets of BAA, or whoever.

I wonder if you would think the same if you were lying on a slab in the morgue as a result of the air pollution from an extra runway and more flights.
