Isn't this all part of the
PR upsell for runway 3 infastructure hence the opening line re capacity?
Personally I would rather we spend the £18bn and indeed the rocketing costs of HS2 on our OAPS most of whom "appear" to be being CULLED by cut after cut.
I really don't understand why there is taxpayer money for Heathrow whilst the NHS and social care is disintegrating.
We will all be old or indeed ill some day!
By all means build a new runway but fund all of the support with private money. It's scandalous using taxpayer dosh.
