Big Dave and 'his' airport

In a variation of the 'What have the Romans done for us?' theme Dave has set out in a local paper what his government has done for the South West.

I don't know whether he's been taking tips from his opposite number in Wales but he appears to think he and his government (and not its private sector owners) are expanding Bristol Airport:

We're rolling out superfast broadband to even more areas, expanding Bristol Airport and re-developing Bristol Temple Meads Station. We're electrifying the Great Western Main Line, building new roads, improving old ones, and spending millions on flood defences.

Perhaps he believes that it would be a good idea to nationalise the place.
