Has Laura Richardson forgotten the legacy she has left with her financial mess? How in all glory can anyone take this woman seriously !
She cant even manage her own finacial affairs, much less come to any sensible conclusion on the air quality at the port.
Come on Laura, you have no expertise on the port, please dont try to be a bigger fool than most of us already take you to be !
