Maybe sufficient of us over the years have seen all the
PR.spin on big projects, how we would all benefit for it later never to materialise.
An extra runway around London has only ever been thought of as being at Lhr as when this idea got serious, BAA owned all the airports around London and were only interested in expanding Lhr as that was their pet project. They had no interest in making Lgw a successful competitor. That idea has never been seriously questioned since.
The airport commission used passenger figures for Lgw that were seriously wrong to try and prove a case. If the case for Lhr expansion is so strong, why were they never told to go away, correct their figures and rerun the report?
When you start out with the answer you want and start to construct a case, as was evident here, you then run into all sorts of problems as people start to see through the lies and deceit.
They will deserve everything they get in terms of flak. All this talk about regional connectivity, they have no idea if that would ever happen or not. Just one example of
PR rubbish fed to the masses they think are stupid.
