Sure, I'm not saying the road traffic won't be worse. But tbh one traffic
jam is very much like another. When I worked down there it was pretty much
gridlock already in the rush hour. However that only affects a relatively
small area. The extra flights will affect all of london and a significant
portion of Berkshire. All so Heathrow Plc can increase its share price.

Heathrow can not spirit more money out of people's pockets unless it is
providing the entire population with more of what they want.

Or charging the airlines more in access charges for a supposed improved
service. Besides, as Heathrow likes to keep reminding us , its a hub, which
means its generally not the population of the UK that gets the benefits.

Still, whats some extra noise, gas and particulate pollution affecting
millions of people when share prices are at risk. Priorities, right?
