To no-ones's surprise, Boris Island hasn't made the airport expansion short

Gatwick is easier politically. The decision is due after the election, and
I wonder which will win?

Gatwick. Eventually.

So why all the procrastination then? The reason they keep deferring
the decision is that Heathrow is the only one that makes economic
sense, but it's politically very difficult. The only safe time to
choose it is right after an election.
