Manchester is already an alternative to Heathrow for millions of passengers and not just from ooop North.
But we are being told that Heathrow is the saviour of the UK and if we don't expand it then we will all be using Ansterdam/Frankfurt etc.
We already do and Manchester too. That's passenger choice and it should not be dictated by the government or the owners of Heathrow or indeed Manchester airport group.
I have no issue with it having ten runways but not potentially billions of tax money spent on it because it's Heathrow.
