Also as a Londoner, you can speak for yourself. Anyone who thinks the
economy will be rescued by an extra runway at an airport is living on a
cloud
higher than any 747 can reach.

I think you need to read posts more carefully before you respond to them
with
such venom. He wrote that an extra runway "would benefit . . . the
country"


Wasn't meant to be venomous , just robust )

Anyway, I disagree. The only people an extra runway would benefit are
the shareholders and directors of Ferrovia and even that would be marginal
since AFAIK air traffic control in the southeast is getting close to its
limit too.

which is something most sensible people agree with. Transforming the
economy will take more than any one project or policy, as George Osborne
is
slowly and painfully learning.


Well quite.
