Whilst Boris is right about government dithering Policy Exchange make the valid point that Heathrow is where the people who use it are and they can't be easily moved to the back end of beyond

Boris has said, I read in the Standard last night, that Boris Island won't be that expensive only costing £60bn in total

. Which is £30bn for the airport (paid for by sovereign wealth funds) and £30bn for the infrastructure (paid for by the UK taxpayer

)
