My flight is cancelled. FFS.

To or From?

Feckers at Heathrow did not learn lessons from 2 years ago, ****s - at the very least they should have enough passport control people, just how fecking hard is it to avoid queues when people already late?

It's very nice inside.

FFS, build the ****ing 3rd runway already

Build Boris Island!

Hopefully last week's tragic helicopter crash will help people to wake up to the folly of having such a busy airport so close to as dense a population as London. One day a 747 or similar will flop down on Hounslow, and the death toll will be a lot higher than 2!

Too expensive, plus airlines are unlikely to move.

Nah. Sell the land that Heathrow is built on for housing, it would be worth gazillions. A new town for two hundred thousand people with good transport links already there!

And the island would be a cracking engineering project. We should have been investing in infrastructure such as this for the last fifteen years instead of artificially inflating public sector wages and pensions to create the illusion of a boom

It won't happen, I agree, but I don't think that there is a realistic economic argument when you look at the land value of Heathrow, the real economic argument is that BAA are sitting on a fat cash cow, and for the minimal cost of an extra runway they can make it even fatter, and still own the land; bugger the human cost and the potential for a tragedy on an unprecedented scale

The other argument that Heathrow brings business to London is also completely false, as the majority of the traffic is hub traffic and serves only to fill the BAA coffers

Not a bad thing so long as BAA pays all UK taxes without outrageous dodges that some big companies use.
