I’m backing the High Court decision

I AM delighted to hear that Hillingdon Council’s legal challenge to the expansion of Heathrow has been abruptly thrown out by the High Court.

Expanding Heathrow will create up to 180,000 jobs and provide £211 billion in economic benefits and growth across the UK by 2050. The council should abandon this pointless challenge before it wastes any more valuable public money. I trust that this case will receive the same perfunctory treatment if it ever returns to the High Court. without addressing preventable causes.”

Time is rarely taken to look for the cause of a patient’s cancer and what chemicals they have been exposed to in their employment or environment.

A family friend, Edward Priestley of Yorkshire, suffered aplastic anaemia (severe bone marrow destruction) caused by workplace toxic chemicals and his doctors didn’t think he would live.

But he researched and by reducing exposure to chemicals such as solvents and benzene, he recovered.

He eats healthily – organic if possible to avoid pesticides. It’s no magic, cure but it can give the body a better chance.

Decades later his blood count is normal and he helps sufferers voluntarily.

I’ve just heard that if Heathrow gets another runway it’s estimated that there will be over a quarter of a million more flights a year from Heathrow.

What will our air be like then, when air pollution around Heathrow already breaks safety limits!

No wonder health experts now advise us that one in two people in England born after 1960 will get cancer.
