Expanding Heathrow - No business case.

I have no idea why the meeja repeat the nonsense about UK plc not having enough flights to various cities in China, Brazil and so on.

At lhr the airline have the slots. If BA, for one, decides to have flights to holiday destinations such as the Caribbean, it is BA that is denying businessmen the chance to fly to Chinese cities, not BAA, and not the Government.

BA also use their slots to fly to places like Prague. Prague could easily be serviced from lgw. Take the lhr slot and fly to Shanghai instead.

There is a lot of drivel talked about lhr. Some sensible business thinking would cut down on the drivel.

All power to Boris and Boris Island.
