Either you want the wonderful free markets which will deliver you the £50bn investment you will need for your new airport, and all the trade that comes with it.
That is not 'inward investment', that is 'selling the family silver'.
You cannot sell what you do not have, nor can you just print money to buy assets with a future value as the money with which you are trying to buy them will have no value!
And I don't make any claims to be an economist, but I think we all understand that one, apart from you.
So I ask you again, which is it - the capitalism which will build you an airport or the communism which will give it the protectionism it would need?
And whilst I'm at it (as I still haven't heard back from you on this) - what would the typical PSC be in this new airport - (a) with LHR still open and (b) with LHR closed?
