I still think it's difficult to argue that 35 miles
away in Bedfordshire is London, while 41 miles away in Essex isn't...

None of it is London, precisely the point I am making. As a native of
Watford, on the very rim of Greater London, I have an axe to grind.

But you can't get away from the fact that Stansted is London's official
"Third Airport".

Which official?


President of the Board of Trade Douglas Jay, in 1967 when speaking to
the House of Commons.
