The third day of Christmas: £3.4m

Three point four million pounds for an airport*
Two Truro park and rides

And a stadium entirely for free

* at Newquay. Every year. Over £100 million of public money has now been spent on the feeding frenzy required to keep this product of Liberal Democrat hubris in the air.

Thus subsidising second home owners and adding to Cornwall’s carbon emissions by up to twelve-fold by 2030.

At the same time in an indication of their warped sense of priorities Cornwall Council’s transport gauleiter Graeme Hicks is trying to cut up to £2.2 million from the bus subsidies.

Poor people travel by bus. The rich prefer planes to buses and trains.
