You are talking about an airport that still requires £1 coins to rent a luggage cart at baggage claim, with the coin machine permanently broken, and zero card readers for anything.
Heathrow is one of the best airports in the world and the best in Britain; Gatwick is so run-down, inefficient and your luggage takes forever to arrive at baggage claim when you arrive. I sat in economy but my luggage had a priority business tag and it still took somewhere around 20-30 minutes for me to receive both my suitcases. And don't even get me started on the damaged rooftops in the terminal. The cart rental thing is at almost all UK airports so doesn't really matter
@ Heathrow is most definitely not one of the best airports in the world, I think you meant to say it is one of the worst major airports in the world. Explain the thing where everyone going to the car park must use one of two elevators that only holds three people and their luggage, and one which are stuck permanently on the third floor doing f-all?

@@Bungle-UK To be fair to the UK, these challenges and delays occur in pretty much every democratic country... Still, I think politicians can ram these things through relatively fast if they're really committed to it.
@@RogerMellie-yk3gw What if there are homes in the way? They said in the video that some homes will have to be demolished to make way so you have to factor in the cost of compensation into the construction costs.
Absolutely. I presume you’re hoping they’re not going to build a runway or similar near your home or compulsorily purchase your home like the did for GS2. It’s easy to sneer at nimbyism when it’s someone else’s backyard.
@ I’m near enough to Heathrow that apparent pollution would affect me. Also it’s weird people buying homes near airports then complaining about the noise / pollution.
Agreed. What takes the piss is Heathrow is privatised, yet the government will still fund 90% of the £10b-£20b expansion. All while pensioners struggle for heat and others struggle for food and rent. Absolute joke.
Why bother, there's more important things to spend the money on, let's spend the money on fixing our roads, building new hospitals and new housing, if they to meet net zero, surely this won't work and if/when they lose the next election, will it be cancelled, let's not forget HS2.
The UK Parliament has taken 25 years (and counting) to approve a single new runway at Heathrow, but only weeks to legislate online speech and imprison citizens for stating opinions. Investors have taken note. So please - don't ask why the UK economy and your wages are in the toilet. You know why.
The salaries are actually really good if you hold a useful, powerful degree and have all skills required by the employers. You can't really expect to live comfortably on minimum wage and that's in all countries, not just Britain
That's because the government there is almighty. We should still have good regulation and laws in place to prevent bad practice but the UK has too many. Let's not go as far as China but meet in the middle like the rest of Europe when it comes to infrastructure
@@bordedup546 communism in china isnt what you think it is. people are not oppressed like the western media wants you to believe, in fact chinese people earn high and live high quality lives. their communism gov seems to be doing something right huh. much better than the random boat people and 60 month nhs waiting times and multiculturism ew..
They should have built the runway by now. We keep loosing billions to other European hubs. Labour is useless when it comes to how to bring in money into the treasury without raising taxes or introducing new taxes.
If its so badly needed how the hell is the airport running?? Total waste of money and resources like hs2. Pathetic. Build some funking hospitals and pay the staff properly
Yeah, lets spend £10b-£20b on a single runway expansion instead of reopening DSA which is fully built and ready to go. Oh and lets do it while the country is in poverty and headed into a recession. Genius.
@@jakewhite9179 ok. Feel free to explain how reopening Doncaster Airport will relieve pressure at Heathrow? Heathrow is a global hub and the busiest airport in Europe. Doncaster didn’t generate enough traffic to cover its costs. Oh, and you’re not spending a penny; this is all private investment.
What a load of cobblers. This will be stuck in the courts for years. If it ever gets built, the price will be put on your ticket pushing up costs for years to come. Meanwhile, better scheduling of slots could achieve more results. Once again, Reeves talks about jam tomorrow, while businesses go bust today. She should resign. Oh and the EV mandate should be scrapped. This makes a mockery of it.
Uk sadly needs more investment in all sectors after 2008 the uk has been just cut investments instead they should have been double down it invests. "You don't grow by eating less".
People can complain all they want but the same people will then complain why flights at Heathrow are always delayed and why every other countries infrastructure is better. My parents got divorced in 1995 and my dad moved to France and when I told him about the third runway project back around 2015, he said "they're still talking about that? They were talking abou that when I got divorced!"
Yes, let's force petrol and diesel cars off the road to save the planet, and encourage people to fly more. Is there any single person in government capable of joined-up thinking?
Electric cars are a viable alternative. Being stuck in the country because you can't fly, isn't a viable alternative to flying. This is the equivalent of people saying no more roads because cars are polluting! Well, without roads we'd all be stuck at home and eventually planes will become greener too so build the damn runway already!
@@bordedup546 It's got nothing to do with population, it's all about the shit hole we call our Capital city and the so called prestige that goes with it. Since when has 20 been 40% of 70.
We can replace boilers with heat pumps and make our cars electric but there's no alternative to flying. Future planes will be more efficient but they'll use the same runway as any other plane. So build damn the runway!
Spend the money on better facilities. Arriving at Heathrow airport is traumatic. It is manned by unfriendly unhelpful thieves and it’s truly a hell coming that way into U.K. avoid Heathrow and avoid London.
Worked on the construction of terminal 5. The underground cavern for the rail platform to Terminal 6 was built and sealed off back then. Terminal 6 = a third runway terminal so this like all infrastructure projects are planned decades earlier. Oh and BTW, I've heard that the hard core and electric cabling for Stansteads 2nd runway lays under turf but was laid at the same time as the current runway. Fail to plan, plan to fail I guess the saying goes.
As someone who knows the area quite well. The 3 towns in question Harlington, Sipson and Harmondsworth are really not worth saving. Only a few nimbys will miss them imo!!
So London, an area already worth like what 20% of the entirety of the UK, is going to get yet more money for an upgrade it doesn’t need rather than spending that money on developing rural regions and by extension spreading growth and allowing for more opportunity via private and public investment. Nice!
explain to me, how does spending money on developing rural regions bring money in? London is where the moneys at, why would I invest in some poor village, all risks and no return, and not invest in something already established and will definitely return.
😂😂😂wait for another 80 years to build it this wont get off the ground just like any other major infrastructure stoppage in UK,meanwhile in China,Dubai,Singapore their are already living in the future with the all infrastructure going up left right and center while the UK is still debating for a plan for another 100 years😂😂😂
Nimbyism in this country is a scandal. My friend lives in the countryside and was talking about how even getting wind farms approved is an uphill battle (she’s from the city originally ). Change is difficult, but we need it. We need to diversify our economy and not be reliant on the status quo. We’ve had 14 years of an awful and incompetent Tory government that gave us Brexit, which nobody, except the right wing nuts in their party wanted; so at last some positivity and optimism. I think it’s fair to say, that perhaps in 10 years, people will have more contempt for David Cameron for calling the referendum, than most northerners do for Thatcher and her neoliberal ideology that she waged on this country. Super capitalism doesn’t work, we need a mix of government sponsored infrastructure projects to get things moving again.
Yet, on the 27 February 2020, Starmer tweeted, “Congratulations to the climate campaigners. There is no more important challenge than the climate emergency. That is why I voted against Heathrow expansion.” Does the Starmer régime do joined up thinking?
Millions you say, will that counter the £10b-£20b that the government are going to give to a privatised airport for the expansion? Will it counter the spiral into a recession that starmer said he would reverse, yet has only made worse? No, I don't think it will 🤔 almost like there are better things to be investing in right now. Almost like there are pensioners struggling for heating and others struggling to pay for food and rent. Yep, that extra runway is sure gonna do us some good!
The cost of the construction is misleading They should factor in the cost of compensating homeowners whose homes will have to be demolished to make way and it won't be cheap because the homes are in London😂
If you want the new runway that's fine but supporters will have to live under the flight path. You can't have it unless you are prepared to actually live with it!
Unfortunately it doesn’t work like that you have to plan for the long term the constant short termism is the reason why this country is in such a bad place
@ the country has been going in the wrong direction for 20 years. Half dozen prime minister have wrecked this once great nation. Housing roads rail schools hospitals we pay more than enough tax for these construction projects. We don’t need more aircraft flying overhead.
