We need jobs here in the Southeast of England. Thanet has lost its port and cannot afford to lose an airport.

Manston is in the perfect position to accept cargo as aircraft do not have to be stacked. It is literally straight in off the sea.

Good relations with schools can be made especially with the creation of engineering jobs.

Not only will an airport produce jobs, there shall be other secondard jobs created in the product life cycle.

If the government wishes to build houses, built houses on disused factory sites such as Oldham which at the same time would be cheaper.
