It'll also be BAA posturing given that to me the most sensible option
(expanding Stansted and closing Heathrow or at least relegating it to a
smaller operation, perhaps involving low-costs) will not exactly help their
business.

I'd be interested to hear how you consider that expanding Stansted is
the best option, given that several inquiries over several decades have
failed to come to that conclusion, and that Stansted itself is now
attracting only 80% of the business it did just a few years back..
