Big news story in the London Evening Standard today, about how London will loose £100 bn if it does not upgrade its airport infrastructure in the SE.

Standard E-edition



The article does not mention the Silver-Boris Thames airport, but this is one obvious solution to the chaor that is Heathrow. Even if Silver-Boris takes years to complete, major international companies may still be induced to stay in London - instead of moving to Paris or Amsterdam - if they know that things will improve later.

Notice to politicians - This is not a decision that can be kicked into the political long grass forever. At some point London will cease to be an international center of world trade, if we do not have the infrastructure to support it. And when that happens, then the UK becomes the new Albania.
