I dunno, I'm not an expert in risk. Just seems to me that it would be more sensible to add capacity to literally any other airport in the UK than Heathrow
Remember when that fuse blew and the airport was fucked? Let's make it more important!

![R. H. Bing (October 20, 1914 – April 28, 1986)[1] was an American mathematician who worked mainly in the areas of geometric topology and continuum theory.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyyd366g3hrxp5rynixm2mm3/bafkreid62wy3dekb2kzbisjfdlimlb35j4rlgew5iof7vi32byfszmg26a@jpeg)
![Bing's father was named Rupert Henry, but Bing's mother thought that "Rupert Henry" was too British for Texas. Thus she compromised by abbreviating it to R. H.[5] Consequently, R. H. does not stand for a first or middle name.
When Bing was applying for a visa, he was requested not to use initials. He explained that his name was really "R-only H-only Bing", and ended up receiving a visa made out to "Ronly Honly Bing".](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyyd366g3hrxp5rynixm2mm3/bafkreigmfj53q4uy33spga2bxdkllqm3ag5sffovg5g7ddmu3vqzkb6k24@jpeg)

Why is it controversial that if your income is over £12570 you get taxed on anything above that?
How is pension income different from any other kind of income?

Lockdown was so bad for comedy. There was the eyebrows guy who had one mildly amusing video & the industry was determined to make him a thing. Now I see that Rosie Holt was on the last leg last night. Again, one thing mildly amusing in lockdown. Can we please move on?

I am curious though, on the one hand all those lives would have been saved if lockdown happened a week earlier. But also apparently there was an opportunity that lockdown wasn't needed at all. I don't follow how both can be true
