You haven't really thought that through

The Telegraph is reporting that Gordon Brown will approve the third Heathrow runway within weeks. It's a rather naive take on the political process that imagines it's just something that the prime minister can say will happen, in spite of a cabinet revolt.

The report also says:

The decision will be announced before the end of the year, and could come as soon as next month.

As it's now November, before the end of the year does really mean next month at the latest, doesn't it?
