Has Boris Johnson ditched a pre-election airport promise?
Written by Mark Pack on 6th June 2008 – 5:54 pmExhibit A
Conservative Leader of Dartford Council, Jeremey Kite: “When I spoke to him [Boris Johnson] during his campaign he assured me north Kent was not an option [for a new airport].”
Exhibit B
Boris Johnson’s staff: “It is too early to identify particular sites and to confirm or deny north Kent is an option.”

So that’d be saying one thing before polling day and then doing something else afterwards by the looks of it. A bit of a habit really.

If Borris backtracks on the airport issues he will bomb, and not only that he will destroy the Tory credibility on the environment too. The Tories dont deserve any credibility in that area, but unfortunately they seem to have it anyway…
