It brings a great deal of employment (on the airport and off it).

It also makes routes which were not otherwise economic to operate,
available to locals to fly on.


.... which makes London one of the most connected places in the owrld to
locate a business HQ, which brings more money and talent into the country.


There's plenty of talent in this country already. The whole "we need overseas
talent" argument used by business and remoaners is actually code for "we want
to hire the cheapest and foreigners fit the bill because they're desperate for
a job and will work for less".

I've noticed recently that now a lot of east europeans are clearing off a lot
of the coffee shops in county towns have managed to find english staff. These
apparently are the english who we were told are lazy and unwilling to do
menial jobs.
