The third runway at Heathrow will happen, you know it and the people of London know it, Boris Island is a sideshow designed to divert attention from the constant land purchasing that is going on around Heathrow right now. Since the Tories came to power despite them saying that they are opposed to the third runway over 200 private properties and 35 commercial properties have been purchased by Land Estates in preparation for the expansion.
