Hoon hits out at 'hypocritical' Emma Thompson over Heathrow expansion plans

Transport secretary Geoff Hoon yesterday stuck the knife into the hypocrisy of celebrities who campaigned against the third runway at Heathrow.
The actress Emma Thompson joined a motley crew of green activists in buying a patch of land next to the proposed runway, which will see an entire village wiped off the map.
But the straight-talking minister suggested that double Oscar-winner Miss Thompson, who jets to America for her acting work, had to examine her own behaviour.

Surprised, more than surprised to see a MP of any leaning and any colour actually putting his head above the parapet.
