The gateway to Britain should, in theory, provide those entering the country with a positive first impression of the country and its people.
Unfortunately many people use Heathrow as the gateway, and its performance has been far from "stellar".
The T5 debacle earlier this year brought home to many quite how decrepit and badly run Heathrow really is.
Having humiliated the nation once, one would have thought that those running Heathrow (BAA) would be pulling all the stops out to ensure that performance improves; and that by the time the London 2012 Olympics come round, Heathrow is running smoothly like a well oiled machine.
Unfortunately BAA don't seem to be capable of doing that.
BAA have let the cat out of the bag, and owned up to the fact that "at best" only part of Heathrow East (the replacement for Terminals 1 and 2) will be open on time for the 2012 games.
Seemingly several major building contractors will not start work until next year.
China managed to build and open a spectacular new airport terminal in Beijing (shaped like a dragon) on time for their games, yet BAA cannot.
I would not trust those running BAA to sit the right way on a lavatory, let alone run an airport terminal. Their monopoly, most especially Heathrow, must be taken away from them asap.
