By this, i mean the people who are totally against any and all Aviation related expansion. People who want no expansion at all and who chain themselves to cars, lay on the runway....those 'fruitcakes' (they do it on an environmental basis)
The likes of 'Stop Heathrow Expansion', 'Stop Stansted Expansion'... (you get the idea)
There is legitimate and justified demand for the UK to have at least 1 extra runway, but these people just flat out refute that point.
It's actually one of the rare times i would side with Mr O' Leary, and suggest 3 extra runways at LHR/LGW/STN. Partly to cover our requirements for the next 50+ years, but also to annoy them even further
