I think that 'one size fits all' policy approaches always stand to run the risk of being inappropriate to certain areas and the Gummer/Goldsmith proposals fall into this category to my mind in regard to North England and Scotland.Stephen Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09938077890889672557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37566864.post-34398258183876833772007-09-16T10:19:00.000+01:002007-09-16T10:19:00.000+01:00Does the national consrvative party realise that there is life north of Manchester. <BR/>Taxing air travel will harm those of us who live in the north of Scotland. Plane takes 1 1/2 hours from Inverness to London. Train takes nearly 12 hours and is generaly much more expensive. The proof of the pudding is, as always, in the eating. The passenger growth from Inverness airport shows a dramatic increase. <BR/>Please think of the people in the north when creating draft policies.Bob Robbienoreply@blogger.com
