Or maybe the numbers are skewed. Note post 3662, Paragraph 12 - the alternative numbers from the expert advisers to the Davies Commission and the estimates of Sir Peter Hendy.

we will not be seeing A380's at Humberside any time soon.
So when you posted that spotters would be worried about losing types from regional airports you were referring to services which have never existed? Where is the logic in that?

If the money is coming in from abroad,
But the issue is the money coming from the taxpayer. Which is overwhelmingly concentrated on infrastructure in London and the SE, and has been for the past 30 years. What about that money?

bleating about the unfairness of more money going into the capital.
Bleating? May I congratulate you on your fine vocabulary of disparaging words and phrases deployed against that 70%+ of the UK population seeking a fair return on their contribution to the success of the nation. The proportion of public funds which have been allocated to infrastructure projects in and around the SE over the last three decades is so obscenely unbalanced that it really is unfair. Dust off those old school maths books and revise the chapters on fractions, ratios and percentages.
