One commentator reviewing the Sunday papers on the Andrew Marr show said, I wonder what they think he should be doing about it, maybe they think he should go up to John O'groats and blow very hard.

The daily wail and Daily Diana will always knock him..

But the goverment do seem to have been very quiet of a subject which is going to cost many industrys (many wont be hit yet) in fact all parties have to busy thinking about themsleves..

I have yet to read in detail the heavyweight media today but from a quick glance. I know of course it hit a bit to late for indepth articles or for the cvill servants to be in their offices for quotes but in the sunday papers i cant see very many mentions of authorities apart from BAA or the MET office commenting offcial or off the record regarding the wider issues..

The wife who is technically stranded out in phill is ok she's with family and still has a week and a few days to go before her flights due. If the worse came to the worse we have plans as a family to get her nearer the Uk and then a boat home I kid you not and apart from some cost to the family who have all offered to chip in without asking it will hopefully be just a big adventure for her!!!

Im more worried how many small british companies in many fields will possibly find this is the final straw and how it affects peoples lives for ever

I do hope the goverment and all the major parties do have their thinking caps on otherwise even those not affected directly may suffer if medical supplies drop to critical levels and companies which deal with their employers are affected.

I'm just surprised that the Daily Mail didn't manage to get in there first...... I think Dedworth will have write to them and complain.

Always looking for somebody to blame Instead of pointing the finger at somebody should worry about the future after this.

Economists last night expressed fears that Britain’s biggest airport crisis since 9/11 could stall the country’s recovery from recession.

The country was in good financial health in 2001. I think this will hit hard.

Also with the internet age etc we think things can be solved in mintues hours or maybe at the worsted days! This technically could affect the Uk and europe in various ways (not just airbans) for months!!

I agree that it's a very worrying situation, but I can't see what any politician could do that would make much of a difference, but I'm sure either the Daily Mail or the Daily Express will tell us all........ or if they don't, I'm sure Dedworth will have all the answers.

I dont expect a big announcment but im sure you aware in this media savvy world normally if the goverment wants to reassure people they let it be known either in a statment or via off the record comments to the major media outlets that things are being planned in the background. It seems to have been vey very quiet from what im seeing.

Rather uncalled for comments, I reckon.

[IainBusby]

Not at all, it was just a tongue in cheek comment about the way he, like the Daily Mail and the Daily Express, usually finds a way to blame everything on Gordon Brown.

i don't think so dom, if dedworth gives he's got to take it as well

he's been slagging off united and the labour party all the time, i'm sure he's not offended by a bit of

The first ship into Spain is just to pickup troops... 'maybe' some public.

The F16's only one was damaged out of the 'flock', and they actually flew through the cloud ... not the dispersed cloud that is over the EU..... and now the bans are being lifted as officials wake-up it seems Willie Walsh and me were right all along .... I never trusted the only scientific theoretical model they used with no physical test data to back it up.

No doubt Iain will be pleased to give us the official politburo line on the crucial role Gordon Brown played in leading Europe out of this crisis.

There I was thinking Pa Broon was a gutless, indecisive, bottler unable to take decisions

No I won't be doing that because unlike both yourself and the DM, I see absolutely no benefit in distorting the facts just so that they appear to justify my own political beliefs.

The decision to ground planes was not Gordon Brown's so I would be very surprised if he tried to take credit for getting them back in the air.

We can soon see what slant Alistair Campbell and the Daily Handwringer put on it

Yet another process he is careful to distance himself from and deny any involvement. He refused to admit any responsibility for the economic crisis yet is very happy to brag that he's not only leading Britain out of it but the rest of the world too.
