So all those other countries/cities[1] which have developed 4-runway[2]
airports are stupid?

How many airports does each of those cities have? As a reference point
London has:

Heathrow
Gatwick
Luton
Stansted
City
Southend

And people honestly believe we need even more capacity. Its a ****ing joke.

I know you don't understand the value of a hub airport, but the demand is
for more hub capacity, not more capacity in the other airports. London does
have spare capacity at some of its single runway airports, but Heathrow is
bursting at the seams.
