Well I think you are way off the mark if you think Heathrow is flooding the exchequer with taxes to pay for the NHS, social Care , Education, Police etc.
Any profit goes direct to shareholders and they are ALL offshore, as for corporation tax, its not paid any for years.
Well that makes perfect sense once you strip out the tens of thousands of people who pay tax and national insurance via the thousands of businesses linked to the airport.

£32.3B deficit and pay down a debt of
£1.82TRILLION.
I note these are the
good years, we need the money, we really do.
The British ability to have a good moan is legendary, but the economy is beginning to resemble pyramid scheme, sometimes real infrastructure investment is really what you need
