And Boris said the cost is 'not an issue'.
Be honest, once Boris is re-elected, do you think you'll be hearing more about this? It's politics, pure and simple. By the time the reality hits that the only cost effective option is Heathrow, regardless of NIMBYs who moved there knowing there was the worlds busiest international airport nearby, Boris plans to be in Number 10 so as opposed to a London plan, it becomes a UK strategy.
Behind the scenes, most Tory MPs and many Labour MPs do not believe this is is anything more than a joke project.
