Heathrow’s controversial third runway.

In Dublin!?

“This means I sometimes have to make difficult decisions [Said Willie Walsh] and ultimately the buck stops with me. If the [British] Government continues to dither over a new runway, then I’ll move my business elsewhere. We now have airlines in Dublin and Madrid, and can expand our business there, supporting the strengthening Irish and Spanish economies.”

Later:

“This is not just fighting talk — we have the practical ability to expand elsewhere.

This means Spain and Ireland will get the economic benefits and new jobs from our expansion plans, while the UK Government twiddles its thumbs and watches as the world progresses around it.”

What you may need to know:

1. Lest we forget, there’s another installment of a long-running sci-fi franchise in the pipeline.

2. It looks like incoming director Justin Lin (Fast and Furious) has thrown a curveball and decided to go small.

3. Co-written by Simon Pegg. “What about… MORE SCOTTY?”

4. That might be Idris Elba @0:55.

5. How many times has the Enterprise been destroyed at this stage?

6. Broadsheet prognosis: Star Trek: “Woohoo! Look at meee!” Star Wars: “Yeah, whatever.”

Release Date: July 2016.
