Prophead.
you are either eluding the answer or missing the point.
why is to acceptable for LHR to draw in pax from across the North (and U.K. in the bigger picture) to bolster its numbers. but it is not acceptable for MAN to do the same thing? I’m not asking about pax choice (at this time), im asking why you are practicing double standards to try and support your argument.
Thats is the irony point. I will happily debate your other flaws if you can answer that basic point.
