If this was any other country in the world never mind Europe the 3rd runway at LHR would be being paved as we speak day and night!
You may yet get your wish.
From a BBC report a couple of days ago:
"But one Tory Minister has told me that the Government should lay the groundwork now for building a third runway here at Heathrow after the next election, and that the next Conservative manifesto shouldn't include any promises that would rule out future airport expansion"
