Paul Carter and Kent Messenger report unfacts regarding Boris Johnson and Manston

Written by Matt B · first published 26/11/2008

The use of Manston rather than the Thames estuary proposal have been rather hastily reported (not by us though). It seems that, according to The Guardian that Boris Johnson has agreed to no such thing.

So Paul Carter's words as reported by the Kent Messenger are wrong. Really the KM should do more fact checking (especially as I have heard that they often do none at all). Paul Carter is, by the way, the leader of Kent county council. So he too should have known better.

The short version of this story is: don't hold your breath over getting anything big in at Manston Airport and time soon.
