    Isn’t the plan for the third runway to essentially build it as a bridge into the nearby reservoir? That never seems like the most cost effective option, they just want to keep the main airport is being Heathrow even though it’s poorly situated to be a main airport.

    How much less huge would the doubt have been if Burnham had only refused four times?

    I’ll get excited when he actually comes out and scraps it.

Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
