I'm sure we'll soon be treated to the usual dismissive responses informing us that LHR R3 will be a windfall for the regions. Please don't patronise us with such hogwash. LHR expansion is overwhelmingly a project for the benefit of London and the SE. As Sir Richard Leese neatly put it: "In my experience, trickledown really does mean a trickle!"
It's a national asset in the same way MAN is a regional asset, in the same way what's good for MAN is good for Yorkshire and Merseyside. Or does trickledown not apply regionally.....?
