    So this new rail link between London and Birmingham is going to take 14 years to complete.

    How come it only took I. K. Brunel 5 years to build the Great Western Railway by hand then ?

    Including bridges, viaducts and tunnels.

    Who wants to go to fecking Birmingham anyway ?

    Because he didn't have any tree hugging bunny loving do-gooders objecting that worms and beetles will have their natural habitat interfered with and all these animals will have to be relocated to a specially built wildlife reserve??

    If they recruited all the lazy dole queue scroungers and gave them a spade each, we could have it done and dusted by next Christmas !

    On the news they said it would cost something over 5K pounds per inch. I can think of better things to spend the money on. Get youngsters trained in something worthwhile in a manufacturing company as opposed to giving them a degree in long distance spitting and it will providing the goods are worth having pay for itself by selling to the masses.

    It may be so they can help the Illegals get to Brum quicker. Ashford to London with a fast link to New Street.

    Israel passed a law today to allow the jailing of illegal immigrants for up to 3 years without trial. I bet that will soon solve that problem then.

    Here's a bird's-eye view of the route. It seems like The telegraph may be scare-mongering as it seems to show the rail having to go through a lot of villages. That can't be right?
