Silver, you’re being way too subjective! All your arguments appear to be based on a particular loathing of LHR.

Not at all. If you go back through my posts I list all of your 1-10 points aout LHR in some detail. When taken together, these points result in the 'subjective' opinion I have of LHR. Its just an awful international hub.

Oh, and if Silver-Boris does get built, LHR WILL close. It has to.

Jabird, there would be no money for a compulsory purchase of LHR.

You have this the wrong way around. It is the purchase and sale of LHR as an industrial/residential site that would pay for Silver-Boris. That site is a goldmine, and anyway, it would HAVE to be redeveloped to maintain the wealth of that area. If it staggered on as a third-rate international airport, the whole area would decline. But as a new Silicon Thames Valley, it would boom like no other area in the UK.
