There's lies, damned lies, statistics and claims by Spanish-owned BAA

Govt. Consultation is for a new SHORT runway at Heathrow, and already
(during the Climate Camp) BAA announced that what it really wants is a
FULL-length runway. So the Govt. Consultation is a con. - it is for a
short runway. A full-length runway will hugely increase pollution,
noise and disruption; and will entail the demolition of Harmondsworth,
Sipson, Harlington and Cranford - about 35,000 houses, 7 schools, and
at least four historic churches. CJB.

Your irrelevant mentioning of BA's foreign ownership proves that
you're an ignorant bigot, and can therefore safely be ignored.

Hello? Yes - BA is UK-owned. But I said BAA - which is owned by
Spanish property development co. Ferovial - well actually two Spanish
who are billionaires. They couldn't be bothered to change its name
thereby allowing the less clear thinking public to believe that BAA
still means British Airports Authority.

Incidentally when Ferovial bought BAA it is rumoured that they also
inherited grandfather rights of compulsory purchase of properties in
the way of any development or expansion of their business. They are
thought to be the ONLY foreign owned company operating in the UK that
can compulsorily purchase UK citizen's property for demolition.
