Announcement on Heathrow expected tomorrow

So we've heard that, at long last and after much faffing around, the government will finally announce its decision on that third runway tomorrow. I have to add the 'probably' caveat as it's been delayed many times before but I doubt anyone will be slack-jawed if they give Heathrow expansion a big thumbs-up.

Despite the enormity of this decision, and the ramifications for people around the world, Gordon Brown has refused to promise a vote in the Commons on the issue. John Randall MP referred back to the day Plane Stupid sat on the roof of the house when he waggishly reminded Brown what he said at the time.

"You will recall on February 27 last year you said: 'The message should go out today very clearly that decisions in this country should be made in the chamber of this House and not on the roof of this House.'

"Will you now make a pledge that any further expansion at Heathrow will have a vote in this chamber?"

Nice one. If Brown does indeed deny our elected representatives a say in the matter (and both main opposition parties have said 'no' to a third runway), they can join our plot as beneficial owners of our piece of land on the proposed site and stand beside us during the planning inquiry.
