Get ready for a load of spin about how the government's "Jet Zero" strategy allows them to do this and remain compatible with their climate goals. Jet Zero is a Trojan horse to expand aviation while promising change and it'll be too late to stop it when very little happens.

We've seen exactly the same from MPs of a certain colour regarding the expansion of Southampton Airport runway. Our own MP even claimed it was necessary to support British Airways families. AFAIK there are no BA families here: Literally throwing constituents under the (air)bus.
It's worth reading this debate in Hansard to see what is going on. https://t.co/Zq1EhYbuhE
Want to see a textbook example of churnalism?

Here is a press release from the local business lobbying organisation of which the airport is a member: https://t.co/UGUssnUyj7

Here is the same thing reheated in the local press with a reporter's name on it: https://t.co/C0dsPqufwk

When it is argued new technology will allow these projects to be compliant with net zero, remember this:

Airbus proposed hydrogen planes 20 years ago https://t.co/4StnkfkshW but ditched the idea for all the well known issues with hydrogen 10 years later https://t.co/oc0FNkGwNs
Boeing and their predecessors have proposed Blended Wing Bodies (BWBs) to save fuel since the 1990s. https://t.co/K9xrKeVaqH

But their head of future airplanes says they are impractical for anything but large, long haul routes. https://t.co/6eNCi3eYtj
So when Airbus now proposes hydrogen BWBs by 2035, take it with a massive pinch of salt https://t.co/9Sx9GbxWIZ

Besides, to switch Heathrow to hydrogen would need roughly 50 GW of dedicated power stations - the equivalent of today's peak grid demand or 32 Hinkley C reactors.
If the industry produces zero emissions long haul aircraft or electric short haul aircraft in 15 years, then we can have a conversation about airport capacity. Until then, short haul traffic should use what we know works today - high speed electric ground transport, aka trains.

The TL; DR version is they, by military force, and illegitimate legislature, amended the constitution against the will of The People and legally tricked us into becoming unwitting indentured slaves of human capital and resources to THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA the corporation)

Republic vs Democracy
-They needed to get away from the Republic and create a Democracy in order to drive us towards socialism and inevitably a dictatorship (National Socialist Party aka NAZI)
