My problem is not with Manchester Airport or it's owners. It is with the airports supporters who live nearby, expecting others to travel long distances to use the airport so that they can enjoy more direct flights.
So, let me get this straight. A MAN supporter advocating people from the north travel ‘long distances’ and use the direct flights is a completely unreasonable argument.
Yet yourself, a LHR supporter, advocating the people of the North travel ‘even longer distances’ (so long you need a secondary flight to complete the journey) to Heathrow is a complete sound argument. Do you not see the irony in that at all?
this is just one of the many holes in your argument that I was talking about, there are many many more.
