You want the state telling you where and when you can travel?

No, but I want the state to limit a destructive free-for-all. If some
vested
interest in roads was campaigning to build a new motorway do you think
anyone
would listen? Yet for some reason we're supposed to build a new runway
at
Heathrow to benefit whome exactly? Oh thats right, Heathrow Plc.

Not just the airport company, but the hundreds of thousands of auxiliary
workers and their employers.

So all these workers will suddenly get a pay rise and better conditions if
a new runway is built? Or perhaps you mean it'll lead to hundreds of
thousands
of new jobs?

So you're opposed to hundreds of thousands of new jobs?

Not in principle, but the area around Heathrow would be pretty near the
bottom of a list of places that need them (even if that list were only of
places less than 30 miles from London)
