FURIOUS Richard Madeley locked horns with transport secretary Mark Harper on Good Morning Britain after air traffic control failures sparked chaos over the Bank Holiday weekend.<\/p>\n
Madeley, 67, left Harper stumped when he read a list of times flights had been grounded due to similar failures after the minister claimed there hadn't been anything like it in ten years.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Richard threw his hand into the air and said: "They're a frequent occurrence. <\/p>\n
"July 2019, 50 flights cancelled at various London airports because of radar problems.<\/p>\n
"The year before 2018 again delayed flights by 20 minutes for three weeks at Stansted. <\/p>\n
"Do you hear the sequence? We're going back a year at a time."<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Richard then got more frustrated: "Can you not accept that people watching this their hearts will sink when they hear you trying to downgrade the problem and say it's not that bad? <\/p>\n
"Because it's terrible minister! It's awful."<\/p>\n
Harper attempted to reply with: "I didn't I opened my conversation with you by accepting, and I apologised first of all for all of the people who were disrupted yesterday. And I accepted it was a very significant issue…"<\/p>\n
But Richard cut in: "And then you immediately said it hadn't happened in ten years. People don't care about that, they care it is happening now."<\/p>\n
