Heathrow 3rd Runway.

It seems that the UK cannot do infrastructure.

Why do you say that?

The usual PH extrapolation to an absolute from a single datapoint.

But the judges said that in future, a third runway could go ahead, as long as it fits with the UK's climate commitments.

Work it out genius's.

Some countries can get a hospital built in a week. Our infrastructure projects take a decade or more to get beyond the desk.

There's a balance somewhere - and we are on the extreme side.

Yes, China can do that because they're a centrally planned economy where life is cheap and workers are expendable.

If you're advocating for the kind of centralised authoritarian governmental structure that allows for this kind of rapid roughshod production then I'll consider your opinions to be somewhat lacking and pay little attention them going forward.

I’m advocating balance where unpopular but necessary infrastructure projects actually happen.

China was an example Of what can be done rather than a beacon to follow.

I live in south west London and use Heathrow a lot, maybe 10 times a year. I'd be equally happy to use Gatwick instead if they had the flights I want. I'd imagine there are lots of people who would quite happily switch from Heathrow to Gatwick if they had the flights available, I can't be the only one who would.

Heathrow, Luton and Stansted are the only locations that suit the non-London centric view of the world.

Gatwick and Boris Island do nothing for the rest of the country that don't live in the South East corner.

They don’t do much for the north really.

So 50 mile radius or 100 mile ferry

I'm assuming this already has reserve fuel/range factored in?

It’s being trialed by a Canadian airline that typically only does 20 minute flights.

Ideal for their scenario.
