Says President of Crawley & Gatwick Chamber of Commerce Paul Roe (Dispel airport expansion myths, Letters, December 3): “We must dispel myths and distil down to facts.”

President Roe would do well to follow his own advice about facts.

Fact: The ‘free market’, upon which Mr Roe’s belief in airport expansion depends, is neither free, nor a market. It is, in fact, a myth.

We are being asked to believe in this president's so-called ‘facts’. We do not.
