Election issue Heathrow

I'm amazed it hasnt featured more widely as an election issue given the eye watering level of taxpayer subsidies.

I suspect the road and rail infrastructure which is taxpayer funded is now in the region of £20bn using HS2 and Crossrail as a yardstick.

It seems incredible that Labour have not picked up on this

Must confess I'm more right wing than Attila The Hun but I'm scratching my head as to the value of providing infrastructure for a new service to say Caracas if people are in AE for 36hours, nanny has zero support in terms of social care placement and criminals are allowed to roam our streets with impunity as we have a failed justice system cut to the bone and no police !

Maybe do the basics to provide a good standard of living for everyone and then subsidise a 3rd runway?
