You cannot be serious
I can.
I am.
I could levy a similar charge against you
Shed, from your posts you don't appear able to "
engage in serious debate"!!
Everyone benefits - either directly or indirectly.
From the length of your diatribes, you seem to labour under the mistaken belief that mere volume of words wins debates.
We can trade stats all day but there's little point because apparently yours are above reproach whilst everyone else's are suspect or fanciful.
To me it's simple. Don't expand Heathrow. No skin off my nose. Just watch the UK slide down the worlds economic ranks through lack of connectivity & trade. I've seen enough credible evidence to convince me LHR needs it. I'd laugh if it wasn't so sad to see you (Poms) get your knickers in a twist over this.
