Typical Biased Broadcasting Corporation. I’m pretty much done with the BBC news dept, I’d rather watch something objective instead of getting their agenda shoved down my throat on a daily basis.I am becoming rather concerned that the BBC, or at least, one of their news editors, is using its position to influence people to oppose the development of LBA.
Some may remember a few months back they ran a story saying Extinction Rebellion had called for the expansion of LBA to be scrapped as it would stop Leeds meeting its CO2 targets. It is my view that if that happens it won't be because of an increase in aviation over the city, it will be due to the council's half hearted decisions regarding cutting down vehicular access into the city centre which is by far the greater cause of pollution.
So this morning, there was a news item at 9am on Radio Leeds stating that a given number of people across Yorkshire would die prematurely due to air pollution. They then followed this up with a re-run of the same headline they gave (as I recall it) back then, stating once again that there were calls from Extinction Rebellion for the expansion of LBA to be abandoned, and stating that Leeds could not meet its CO2 targets if the Airport Link Road was built, the Parkway Station was built, and, LBA expansion went ahead. This item totally ignored the fact that the Link Road was scrapped several weeks ago, so it appears to be a case of the news item being regurgitated and tagged on to the other news item to paint an anti airport picture. The way they did it seemed deliberately intended to suggest that aviation pollution is a major factor in the air pollution causing premature deaths across the region, which is simply not the case. This item however was dropped from the next bulletin despite the first one (re the impact of air pollution across Yorkshire) still being included.
The way things are going at LBA, with the loss of so many Ryanair flights and now, the rumours regarding one of our other airlines, expansion will be the least of their worries. CO2 emissions at LBA are going down by the year anyway, and this coming year they will be dropping like a brick!
So the massive news is going to be announced tomorrow - demolish existing terminal and build a brand new one !!!
