Wow and there was me thinking that the difference in flying times between Heathrow and Belfast was because of prevailing wind direction, or that the captain just decided to get us there on time. Nope, its because it's flat, hmmmmm

So are you stating that the aircraft is purposely slowing down two thirds of its capable speed for the return journey?

You can refer this scenario to clouds. Some days when a little (or zero) atmospheric pressure you can look up to the clouds and see no movement, but surely if we [Earth] is spinning over 1000mph they should move in an instant, a noticeable velocity, but we don’t see that, we see static clouds.

Wake up and seek the truth.

See above. Same as when you jump in the air, your velocity is the same as the earth, and the atmosphere is rotating at the same velocity as the earth, so when you jump you continue forward motion at the same velocity and land on the same spot from where you took off. The clouds which look static are static relative to the earth but are moving at the same velocity.
