It will just get kicked into the long grass, again. Everybody knows the Shandy Drinkers desperately need another runway at LHR but nobody wants to make a decision as there are too many constituencies along the routes. That new airport they are talking about for £ 60 Billion will cost well north of £ 100 Billion by the time it's finished, somewhere around 2050 going off our past record.
Another massively audacious idea - close Heathrow, build new 6-runway airport in the Thames estuary 50 miles east of London - (even more audacious) by 2020. Airport to serve 200 million pax a year. High-speed rail link to Europe and London.
You have to give him credit for ideas that at least match his hair style.
If it's good enough for Hong Kong and Japan, then sure as hell it's good enough for pokey old London but I'm sure the environMENTALists would have something to say about killing a few fish and diverting water flow into and out of the estuary.
Some people in Kent will then start to complain about noise, or whatever that is.
