So the government has decided to land us with Terminal 5.
It's no surprise after all, as far as anyone can tell, this government exists solely to protect the interests of Big Business and they don't come much bigger than aviation do they?
Anyway, we never see Stephen Byers or his cronies in the Cabinet buying homes in west London, so they won't be too inconvenienced by disturbed sleep, which is a relief.
They will all have clear heads for making vital decisions on whether or not to wreck voters' lives.
Perhaps some enterprising entrepreneur might want to concrete over Spelthorne and use it as a car park for Heathrow users.
There might be money in it.
