Much fanfare over the last couple of days in the local press and amongst the Tory blue-rinse that that the campaign to scrap any North Kent airport has received the warm support of Steve Ridgway, the current Virgin Atlantic Chief Executive.
A welcome development indeed but a useful way of hiding a more insidious story which will be revealed tomorrow, which should send shivers down the spines of residents of Cliffe and North Kent.
Despite the platitudes of the Conservative-led Government this blog is aware that Theresa Villiers is expected to outline plans for a new aviation policy paper tomorrow.
This planning paper will be a 'scoping' study on aviation policy and will, funnily enough, be open to all consultations.
Including, presumably that of Boris Johnson, who so happens to have published his paper less than a fortnight before.
Co-incidence? Who you trying to kid Tories?
The news of the Government Aviation Policy paper comes at a time when the Former Chairman of High Speed Two has rubbished the government for claiming that railways will resolve future air requirement in the South East of England.
It is clear that the government is open to suggestions on airport expansion in the South East. After ruling out expansion at Heathrow and with limited scope for runways elsewhere, is this as this blog has long suspected, the Conservatives playing the long game on Cliffe Airport.
It is now confirmed; government aviation policy paper is on its way.
