Patrick,
We're probably abusing the list now, as this is rather non-Europa, but at
least there is some aviation-related stuff.
You're correct on the current Government. But I think it's wrong to tar all
politicians with that brush. Some I know are decent, hard-working, committed
people. I see no reason to expect the next Government to continue the
descent into self-serving that this current one began.
As for restricting our aviation freedoms - the PFA are working hard on that,
and I personally founded the Campaigning Aviators Network. I note that you
haven't volunteered to join it, though. Perhaps you'd like to do so and join
me and the other volunteers in spending some of our free time campaigning
for these freedoms?
Regards,
Jeremy

PPS I think we just uncovered something that I've noticed is one of the few
significant difference in attitudes between the US and the UK: in the US
few seriously trust their government; in the UK few seriously distrust
theirs. I believe that difference is due to our respective national
histories, and that both positions are perfectly understandable in that
context.
Speak for,yourself Jeremy. I think we have the most dishonest. self
seeking and blatantly corrupt government ever in the last couple of
centuries. Only look at the way in which everyone is subject to pension
restrictions -except for the M.P.s and their lackies. The Blair thing is
advancing his own career in expectation of a senior and very highly paid
position within the EU when he is kicked out of his job here, at the
expense of every taxpayer in U.K. by forfeiting Billions of our money in
his own search for power and influence.
I include ALL politicians in my general observations. Sorry about the
blast
- this is not the forum for that sort of thing but the last bit of
correspondence(starting with the Galileo thing), has encouraged a few words
on these lines. Perhaps the Europa Club members (as with other aviation
clubs to which I belong) could act in unison in opposing any measure which
restricts further our freedom of the skies.
