Shed that is a very good post.
I don't hate london or begrudge spending there. But I do think that there is a very blinkered view that ignores the rest of the country. Manchester clearly has a lot to offer in terms of an alternative for some people to the likes of Heathrow. Nobody believes it is going to be a big hub but it can and has to use that potential to offer more than the status quo.
I just don't buy into the nobody will want to invest and it's bad for the UK if they can't fly into Heathrow.
