Skippy:
Would the forced closure of Heathrow be legal? Ferrovial would need to be paid billions!
Hey, Skippy, we are a sovereign nation - we can make any law we like. (Well, until the EU gets its grubby fingers on the levers of power in the UK.)
Just like the compulsory purchase laws designed to turn people out of their houses (originally designed for slum clearance), we can also turf Heathrow off its land. And we can do so at a huge profit, however much compensation is given to Ferrovial, if the government does it right.
