3rd Runway at LHR

Sorry that I could not look through the probably extent 500,000 posts on this forum to see if this topic has been covered already (something I at least try to do!), but what is the status (or non-status as the case might be) of a 3rd runway at LHR? Is there a good link to informative general lay reading on the topic?

I have heard that this is a most contentious subject and of that I wish to steer clear, I am just curious if I will ever in my lifetime (about 20 years more of flying to go) will arrive in LHR and not hear the words "take up the hold at xxx!"

Does the governement in the UK enjoy emminent domain? Is there even a desire for a 3rd piece of concrete?
