"Without the expansion, they claim, London will lose a considerable chunk of its passengers to rival airports in Frankfurt, Paris and Amsterdam"

Surely if you want to fly to London there is not much point in catching a plane heading to Frankfurt, Paris or Amsterdam?

Exactly. The idea is that London continues to act as a hub, rather than at the end of a spoke. I'm not convinced that the third runway is the solution though.

I agree, just getting to Heathrow is a royal PITA. If they build another runway the congestion is only going to get worse. Why not just build another airport somewhere else in the south east or expand one of the others thats already there, but doesn't rely on the same infrastructure to reach.
