At least corporation tax is ringfenced.
.... As is the Times website, unless you feel you want to donate to Rupert's retirement fund.

However, I tend to agree with the sentiment though - Heathrow & its Spanish master Ferrovial should not expect to keep up- the same rate of return to shareholders whilst laying their shiny new tarmac. That's why its called an investment - it needs time to be repaid.

To try to soak the travelling public or the government to keep up their dividends would be just a bit much.
