God is this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!? Speaking as someone who lives in London as opposed to the spotters view from a 1000 miles away I say stop getting all excited! This is political posturing as you all ought to know. They are not going to destroy the habitats of a myriad of rare and priceless birds and concrete half way across the East Coast. Really. Having given the go ahead for Heathrow East, Terminal 5 and the Heathrow Express that's a lot of captial gone to waste in the past ten years!
This new white elephant would be beyond the Heathrow catchment area which could fragment to closer airports and is way out of my way as a Heathrow customer. Politicians talk the talk, Cameron indulges Zac Goldsmith but the Conservatives will come under IMMENSE pressure from people to approve the building of a new runway at Heathrow.
