Heathrow 'needs two more runways'

Fine, let them build two new runways at Heathrow - but unless a great number of extra staff including many extra immigration officers are provided then it will continue to be the frustrating Hell hole it is at the moment.

YEAH RIGHT AND LONDON ALSO NEEDS TO GET RID OF CAMERON .

When i fly to Heathrow once a month, the landing is always delayed by a backlog and the aeroplane take off queue's for a good 20-30 minutes before taking off, something needs to be done.

It's pretty densely populated around Heathrow and the residents put up with enough noise already. I think it would make more sense to open up a new airport, say in the stockbroker belt between Guildford and Dorking. They live in huge houses so population density is low, can afford to soundproof them and are the kind of people who want to use this kind of service. It could be handy for me, too, on my holiday flights. Of course, I'm on the wrong side of Guildford to be affected by the noise, but why shouldn't I be a selfish B**tard? it's our national characteristic now.

That will get Boris on his high horse and banging on about Boris Island.

Why not just culvert the Thames and put runways on top? You'd need no additional rail or road infrastructure, passengers would arrive in the centre of London, and you could have runways at different angles suitable for all wind directions.

The institute of Directors only care about themselves and how their bussiness collegues are doing. They do not care about the ordinary traveller or the local residents. They claim this lack of runways could be costing the ecconomy £12B a year. But infact what they mean is that it could be costing them £12B a year !... No ordinary member of the UK public would ever see any of that additional money if 2 extra runways were built.

The Government are always bragging about increases in our GDP under their watch. However what they fail to tell you is that those increases are only in areas of the ecconomy that benefit the rich and wealthy. Most of the proffits are spirited away to offshore accounts where TAX can be avoided. the UK GDP may double under their watch, but 99% of the UK population would not notice any improvment in daily life one single bit !.

The massive proffits generated by Starbucks, Corperate Accountancy firms, many Solicitors and other Tory supporter operated bussinesses, do not help the average person trying to find £1.00 to buy a loaf of bread for his family.

totally agree with the two extra runways at heathrow or anywhere else as long as they are only used for outgoing illegal immigrants foreign crimnals residing here and terrorist suspect who claim there innocent but don"t seem to want to go back and face there accusers ? mind you housing benefits free health care plus private security supplied by the police Or build a airport somewhere miles from london were full with the 600,000 extra people who have moved to london in the last four years add the other 200,000 thats 800,00 in the last ten years plus what could be well over a million illegals in london alone we really don"t need any more people in london stick them in houses with the liberals who don"t seem to mind. When you wonder why your pension is so low, your doctor can"t make a appointment for you your dental bills are sky high, your homeless the hospital wait is ten hours and theres no bed and london rents and property are sky high. think about who you vote for because TORY LABOUR AND LIBERAL ALL ALLOWED THIS TO HAPPEN, And don"t even think about what the E U has cost us

Yeah like a hole in the head.

More greedy fat cats wanting more money and power. Of course they will get more runways as their fat gin swilling politcal masters will also gain from it. Roll on UKIP.
