Keeping things in persepective

Lest we forget, the politicians pontificating about how wonderful the EU is spent a quarter of a BILLION pounds of British taxpayers’ cash on an airport for St Helena. An airport which cannot be used by commercial airlines most of the time because of wind-shear at a 1,000-foot cliff right next to it. Something which was reported by Charles Darwin back in 1839, nearly 200 years ago, so there was no excuse for not knowing about it.  Are we really going to take people like that seriously?
