It's interesting that Nick Clegg, in his spring conference speech on the weekend, spoke about how the Lib Dems stand for "a fierce opposition to monopolies and vested interests."
This is the same party that had its autumn 2008 conferences sponsored by Tesco and Microsoft. The party that wants to keep a privatised train network until at least 2025, and that's ok with PFI. To boot, they're in favour of keeping nuclear weapons and the part-privatisation of the post office.
Their shadow climate change secretary, Simon Hughes, gave a conference speech that didn't mention aviation once. Their "pocket guide" to their policies says that "climate change could destroy our way of life" ... could? It damn well will, unless we start doing things about it, like reducing aviation capacity.
Unfortunately, the Lib Dems are just as grey as Labour and the Tories.

The New Kingdom c. 1550–1070 BC began with the Eighteenth Dynasty, marking the rise of Egypt as an international power that expanded during its greatest extension to an empire as far south as Tombos in Nubia, and included parts of the Levant in the east. This period is noted for some of the most well known Pharaohs, including Hatshepsut, Thutmose III, Akhenaten and his wife Nefertiti, Tutankhamun and Ramesses II. The first historically attested expression of monotheism came during this period as Atenism. Frequent contacts with other nations brought new ideas to the New Kingdom. The country was later invaded and conquered by Libyans, Nubians and Assyrians, but native Egyptians eventually drove them out and regained control of their country.
