Gatwick's Chief Executive offers to fall on his sword


Dear Steve,

I note your brave and selfless decision to resign if Gatwick is unsuccessful in getting the second runway in London. It is so good to see leading British business men imbued with the tradition of the Japanese Samurai who preferred to fall on their swords rather than admit defeat. It was of course a pity that such testosterone charged courage would also lead them to attacking Pearl Harbor and the subsequent atomic bombing of their cities, but I am sure historical analogies like this will not interest you.

It is a pity that you cannot find the same courage to speak out against the unsustainable expansion of aviation in the face of runaway climate change.

The good thing, (if it is a good thing) is that the worst case scenarios are all happening far quicker than we expected. The Arctic Sea Ice is collapsing, methane releases have started, economies are collapsing, food shortages are starting, Australia is on fire again and I could go on and on - but as you clearly can't be bothered understanding what is going on there is no point in me going on at you.  So by the time your second runway is built, assuming that you have not already impaled yourself on your sword, no one will be flying anywhere. That is apart from the American Military who may be interested in using it to support the climate change wars they are already war gaming for.

It would be great if the Gatwick people posting on this could use a bit of half decent English.

Any plan is prone to some degree of unseen problems so swearing your life on it will be a folly. It doesnt convince public but makes them even more doubtful. gatwick valet parking

Everything will work out the it is supposed to. avoid aggressive statements like these. If you want to give a statement it should be based on hardcore facts. meet and greet gatwick

I am sorry, Perry, but I cannot quite fathom out your English. What aggressive statement are you referring to? Who are you referring to that is giving a statement not based on hardcore facts? I suppose that you were trying to say that everything will work out the way it is supposed to. In what way is everything supposed to work out?
