Who Really Cares? The Absurd Truth of Heathrow Holdings

By No Comments1 min read

Who Cares?

If China has a stake in Heathrow Airport Holdings
Then I surmise the third runway authorized
Will be granted by the British Government – naturally.
I am surprised that

Thousands of people die every year – air polluted:
I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe in central London
But who cares?
The owners?

Ferrovial S.A., Qatar Holding LLC, Caisse de dépôt
et placement du Québec,Government of Singapore
Investment Corporation, Alinda Capital Partners,
China Investment Corporation

and Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS).
Brexit? I can hardly pronounce those investors.
Plus 25% extra for bulldozing homes?
I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe.

A moody, smog-choked view of the London skyline with people on the street covering their faces.

– Another Poem by Skendong: The House is on Fire!

– Read: 9,500 Londoners die each year because of air pollution
