At least he dropped his daft plans to heap even more tax on air travellers as advised by a well known and extremely wealthy trustafarian. As for Heathrow, they should have abandoned it years ago and built another airport in the Thames Estuary complete with proper transport links, (fifteen quid one way to Paddington with no onward connections because the bloody jubilee line is always closed at the weekend or an hour on the Piccadilly line with the hoodies does not constitute a proper transport link). If they insist on keeping the wretched place then at least extend the supposed "high speed rail links" into it and give the rest of the country a chance to get to and from it. Last time I looked, the majority of the country does not live in Oxford, Windsor or Chiswick although it may feel that way with all the traffic (trying to get to LHR no doubt). That should be a precondition to the go ahead for any third runway.
