SSE is sill going strong, as are the campaigns against a second runway
at Gtwick and a third at Heathrow.

The airspace in the SE is already some of the most congested in the world.
When was the last there was a blue sky over london on a clear day? We don't
need or want any more air traffic. Too bad if people can't take a flight with
24 hours notice.

You need just as much capacity for people booking flights months in
advance.

Not necessarily. People who can't find a last minute flight to go on a w/e
break probably won't rebook for a few months ahead, they'll either not bother
or just go somewhere else using another method of transport. Anyway, the fact
that budget airline fares are still so low indicates there isn't a capacity
issue for the airlines at the moment. Supply & demand etc etc...
