This article is demented! A quote from Paul Griffiths, head of Dubai Airports and ex-Gatwick:
"the West’s obsession with democracy does have a downside — it means there is no visionary, long-term strategy in a society that changes government every four to five years"
Yes, sily us and out "obsession" with democracy, what on earth are we playing at...
Not to mention the usual lazy journo approach of "Right, almost summer, better bash out a piece about how terrible Heathrow is".
