[Travel] Heathrow Expansion

[portlock seagull]

From what I've read, it should be near the bottom, from both a global economic and humane standpoint.

Best thing we can possibly do with time and money is to lift the world out of desperate poverty.

Carry on buying the social manipulation and hysteria though.

It’s well documented that many people cope with extreme threats (eg climate change) by denying. One such bloke became President of the United States can you believe? Fortunately there’s plenty of sane people about that are affecting positive change to counter balance the loons and get control of the asylum back.

Heathrow Airport has been given the go-ahead for a third runway after winning a Supreme Court challenge.

The airport, which has been greatly affected by the coronavirus pandemic, says the decision is the "right result for the country".

According to Heathrow, the third runway will help the UK "connect to all of the growing markets of the world", as well as "create hundreds of thousands of jobs".

Cool. I look forward to Boris lying in front of the bulldozers, as he pledged when trying to win over his Hillingdon electorate.

Close, David Simmonds is ours for Ruislip and Northwood

So much for greening up the economy. Reckon the emissions could equal that of Portugal

Has anything been learnt from 2020?

Can we make it a steamroller?

Well if the new runway is anything like the roads in Hillingdon, it's going to tke more than fat Boris to fill the holes.
The contractor basically just fills the holes with porridge

People can always move. Not sure why anyone would move near an airport or under a flight path and then whine about it.

Agreed, equally you'd be a bit miffed if 747's started wooshing over your greenhouse.

 

[Phil B]

Doubtful though - most early 747s have been placed in deserts or scrapped for the aluminium. The 800 series are totally new wing design and engines.

 

[zefarelly]

which model is irrelevant, they're all antisoicial racket makers.

 

[Gwylan]

Cool. I look forward to Boris lying in front of the bulldozers.

Why shouldn't he? He's lied in the House of Commons, he's lied to the Queen, he's lied to his editors, he's lied to his wife ... I don't see why bulldozers should be so special

Either you've banged your head severely not to notice the upheaval that it would cause to all who live in the local area.
The village of Harmondsworth an example

Bottom line. Johnson/the government couldn’t care less about local residents.
I’m old enough to remember when Johnson conveniently left the country rather than vote against Heathrow expansion as he had promised to do.
