LCC I am sure will see through these blatant lies. I will be messaging GALBA myself to highlight their deception

 

[Wardair166]

In response to the propaganda just printed in the Wharfedale Observer I wish to point out some glaring lies;

Firstly the claim that emissions will double is in contrast to LCCs 20% forecast. The majority of the less than 2000 objections were not from within the Leeds area and that you should be reminded that LBA has gone to huge efforts to mitigate any environmental impact. You need to stop producing propoganda that breeds ignorance of the true facts.

It’s a sad state of affairs, but it appears how most activism works now, both on the left and right. Print and say outright lies, then just repeat the lies even in the face of the truth. You could literally present the facts to these people as much as you want, but they simply live in a bubble in the trench that they have chosen, and will not budge. I, like most people, have a open mind. If it’s Brexit, politics, or as in this case climate change, if I see facts and evidence that prove what I think to be true, wrong, you realise you are wrong, regardless of personal opinion. But these people just keep repeating the same lies, over and over like some mad psychosis, and then try to con people with them along the way.

I had to unlike the GALBA group as i was getting in too many arguments. Someone called me agressive and a bully and tried to tell me she would grass me up to my employer and ruin my own business.

Even mentioned my child....

Just as LACAN did In the 80s and 90s. I remain convinced GALBA are LACAN in disguise.

I note Christopher Foren stating that emission free aviation is decades away. The next day Airbus announce their new Hydrogen powered airliner that they expect to be flying by 2035, just 3 years after LBA is expected to reach 7m passengers per year (if the terminal is approved). Another exaggeration at best, downright lies at worst. What sickens me is that the papers print them repeatedly. We will soon see how much these lies influence the plans panel (or not).

Superb letter and factual unlike the GALBA lies.

 

[White Heather]

Good letter, good timing. It's also good to have a very professional and impressive CEO in charge of LBA. I hope the plans panel see this letter.

You mean marching on together, we're gonna see you win.

At least Rees has been bothered enough to learn English!

His letter certainly puts the Councillors on the spot regarding the vital economic necessity of giving approval.

I watched the council planning meeting in full yesterday evening.

It was clear from the comments made by many of those on the panel that their decision is pre determined prior to the planning process being completed. Most of them made no effort to hide they have already made their minds up. It was clear they're not going to consider the benefits of the new terminal.

Frankly the majority of the councillors on the panel seemed to treat the event like a trip to a social club. Sensible comments made by a couple of councillors were simply washed asside. A couple of them couldn't even be bothered to comment either way.

 

[Wardair166]

Can't possibly think why Leeds has one of the poorest transport infrastructures in the UK????!!! Fingers crossed these jokers approve the application.

 

[Hendi]

So these councillors who met yesterday do they make they decision to reject or approve? Or are they recommending its rejected to another panel?

 

[Wardair166]

The councillors who met yesterday are the councillors who will make the decision

 

[Aviador]

From what I could make of it, the application is sure to be rejected and rejected on personal prejudice. A complete disregard for facts and a complete disregard for jobs.

 

[Wardair166]

Coun Elizabeth Nash tried to take a pragmatic approach, adding: “Councillors are between a rock and a hard place – clearly we are all concerned about the environment and we are under pressure from virtually all our members of parliament to turn down this application. “If we do turn down the application, there will be an appeal to the secretary of state and it will be granted. We need to make the best we possibly can over the development of the airport.”


Is Nash suggesting than an appeal is likely to overturn a rejection?

 

[Len Fish]

With West Yorkshire and now latterly Leeds increasingly under lockdown, with the effects of that on the local economy, with mass redundancies expected after the end of the furlough scheme, with most pundits and businesses believing its replacement the Job Support Scheme will have little impact, the economic imperative to allow the application is hopefully becoming increasingly irresistible even for the sceptical members of the Planning Committee.
