a hub airport brings very little to the UK other than pollution and
profit for Heathrow Plc.

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

Really? Where? A few extra staff at the terminals and a few extra journeys
for cabbies. Thats about it. I suspect it would take a few millenia to recoup
the billions that will be spent on it the extra tax income from those jobs.

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

How so? You think Heathrow are going to drop their landing fees? More likely
they'll raise them significantly.

We seem to have this exact same discussion about once a year. Let's
just accept that you'll never understand the concept of a hub airport.
As someone who's afraid of flying, you've probably never used one.
