They would if they weren't hurriedly thinking of a riposte that goes something along the lines of 'fuck off you lefty cunt'......

Another Tory fiasco, Zac to resign, Boris chaining himself to bulldozers, Cameron's 'promise', what have the apologists got to say then?

And the correct answer is: " Whatever solution means that I spend the minimum amount of time on the ground on the airport terminal."
I don't really give a shit if, over the course of the airport's lifetime, a couple of hundred Chinamen get a slightly shorter stop over en route between Beijing & Rio De Janeiro.

If it's Heathrow, will Boris lay down in front of the bulldozers?

Having used Gatwick and Heathrow over the years, all I can remember of these airports is tape. Black tape, yellow tape, all holding something together.
If there was a new airport built off land (The Norman Foster design) and Heathrow and Gatwick were shut down, just think how much land would be freed up for building. Certainly would ease the housing problem.

Having done a bunch of flights through Gatwick recently, I can see why people would think that. What a shithole of an airport

Interesting comment but here it is a ''snob value thing'' locals feel if they are not flying to Heathrow it's not really London just a cheap alternative.

I'd prefer if the bulldozed Heathrow and turned it into a city for immigrants to be honest

Interesting as to why "all the airlines" want Heathrow.
That must suggest that the transfer segment rather than the terminal segment dominates passenger numbers, and therefore airline revenue.
If that is the driver then the benefit to the country is about zero percent of fuck all.

Guaranteed to be Heathrow.
At the end of the day all the major airlines want Heathrow - because of it is the only true London airport - not including City in this.

The answer to the M25 is to build a limited access motorway viaduct above it that connects only with other motorways and take out completely the local traffic. Don't like that? Then how about a partial ring between the M11 & the M3? No? Build more fucking railways then and get the freight off the roads.

Along with a new tidal barrier to replace the Woolwich barrier, could also add in there a new river crossing for the Thames as the Dartford crossing has reached capacity. Need one big project to fix three problems.
Does need someone with vision for the next 50 years and seeing the bigger picture, and not short term sticky plaster measures.
Should have built the M25 with six lanes in the outset as you'll see they'll keep adding a lane every so often.

True but generally bollox of a one eyed nature
The Tories for sure don't fancy pissing off the same constituencies already aggrieved with the ludicrous HS2
But labour kicked this issue into the long grass for years at the expense of primarily their voters on account of pseudo green arguement and of course the simple fact that any benefit would fall outside of the life of the administration that incurred it
Political disgrace on all sides

Crassus is right there.
I think LHR will get the nod based on that, much to the chagrin of the Richmond and west London set. We need to be competing with schiipol and Frankfurt etc
Talking of transport links, I'd forgotten Heathrow was on crossrail which.again makes another case for the expansion.
I do like the foster plan and its echoes of Victorian ballsyness however. But that will never happen

I always thought the airport design by Norman Foster was a good idea.

But it would help Britain to take back control of our borders?
I get the economic case.
I'm just incredulous that they've pushed the decision out further again. In the interests of the Tory party not the country.
