Doncaster airport

Nick Fletcher hasn’t given up yet on trying to save DSA.

[tommy toes]

OK hound.
What's he going to do now, other than trying to score points by blaming Donny council and Oliver Coppard, he's got nowhere so far.
Because as sure as eggs is eggs his government aren't going to get involved despite what Truss said in Parliament.

TT, you wouldn’t have said any of that if someone like Milliband had tried to save DSA.
As for what is he trying to do, have a look, it is out there online.

[tommy toes]

Yes I would. No-one can save DSA.

Very childish response that.

No MP or council member has made much effort to make it happen, it's just a lot of saying your doing stuff. It's largely Peels fault but they have a history for this, if the regional MPs care they should just buy it to secure it's future and then look for a new buyer afterwards. Don't try and point score for your preferred party Hound, it's been a shambles all around.

DO, first of all, I don’t have preferred Party.
Secondly, I know it has been a shambles, in all honesty, who doesn’t know that.
Peel have taken advantage of the council and essentially got the infrastructure installed for next to nothing.
Finally, you may think my response is childish, but that is up to you to interpret it as you wish.
However, childish or not, I still think I was right in my assumption.

[tommy toes]

You always think you're right, hound however stupid your contributions continue to be.
Anyway, the staff are being given their redundancy notices and the place is gradually being closed down.
So that's that.
Peel were determined to close it from the start and no amount of lobbying would have made any difference, once central government washed their hands of it.

[drfchound]

TT, I have never seen you say to someone like say, BST, who consistently calls out other posters and corrects them on points made.
And I noticed you haven’t denied that your response would have been different if someone like Milliband had tried to save the airport.

[tommy toes]

BST doesn't make silly assumptions, unlike you.
On your other point see post 153 above.

But he does very often put down other peoples points of view and is found out to be wrong afterwards.

I was using him as an example by the way and the same applies to plenty of other posters too.

[tommy toes]

Like you did with me with the Milliband rubbish on this page and I do to you because of your nothing useful to contribute other than shit stirring.
You may have noticed I very rarely post on off topic nowadays other than Wordle.
Winds me up having to deal with people like you.

Having to deal with people like me!
Just don’t do off topic then.
Plenty of people do have sensible conversations with me but they are usually people who are prepared to listen to another persons point of view.

I’ve just read the free press article about the Labour mayor and Tories playing politics with this.  It’s embarrassing to be Frank. More concerned about political gain than the airport and the workers.  They should grow up and try their best to resolve this shambles

[Donnywolf]

Yes agree POL and with PR we would get it (an end to playing politics etc)

That's what I hope for ,... Getting PR and it ending extremism from wherever it comes

[Bentley Bullet]

UKIP would have had around 80 seats+ after the 2015 election under PR, instead of just ONE under FPTP!

You'd be better informed by reading this from the usually Tory Yorkshire Post

[phil old leake]

I can remember years ago. I think the lib dems got 7 million votes and I think about 8 seats.  That can’t bevright

[DonnyOsmond]

Good it'd be representative of the population.

It would probably have been much higher in fact, had the electorate known voting for UKIP wouldn't have been a wasted vote as would have been the case under PR.

Today Ros Jones and Oliver Coppard have offered Peel holdings financial support for up to 2 years,whilst a very possible buy out deal is sorted with one of the three potential buyers who have all Met Peels buyout criteria,one is a regional Aiort Operator, (rumour has it Manchester) another UK investment consortium and a Gulf based Consortium. Nick Fletcher needs to sort Trevellyan out if Ros Jones comments re the Airport not being viable are true!

[tommy toes]

Ros Jones had never said the airport isn't viable.

[Sprotyrover]

Ros Jones stated Trevelyan agreed with Peel

[SydneyRover]

''I fundamentally disagree with the Secretary of State for Transport Anne-Marie Trevelyan MP who appears to be siding with Peel, stating that Doncaster Sheffield Airport is unviable.
I believe if operated and managed correctly then DSA can and should be a success and profitable''

[tommy toes]

Ros Jones stated Trevelyan agreed with Peel

Treveleyen has effectively agreed with Peel.
What that has got to do with what Ros Jones has said is beyond me.
I see the dozy hound liked your post.

[Sprotyrover]

TT I don't normally respond to your posts as I suspect you are on a Spectrum!

[tommy toes]

Thought it was Panda who is on the spectrum.

[phil old leake]

Syd I agree with you about it being viable.  I was using it on a weekly basis a while ago as were some of my colleagues.  Generally a good experience. Most of the flights I used were full

Some of the problem has been the lack of promoting its benefits like it’s location to the motorway, the availability of free parking at the parrots corner park and ride with cheap as chips transport to the airport

I just hope that sense prevails and it’s saved.  Such an asset to the local area

[SydneyRover]

Phil, I was directly quoting Ros Jones from her fb page and provided a link but I do of course agree with her statement.
