Isn't it it the difference between state control and capitalism?
It's not about financing necessarily, it is about will to get things done. LHR is very strategic, and the UK govt voted to pass a third runway, so money or no money the govt is definitely involved!
The money is easily there, 10's of billions in the scheme of things is nothing, its the hidden agendas that are backstabbing this from going ahead.
