It's done now though Brian.briantrumpet said:First.Aspect said:Wouldn't be surprised if Labour reverses all of these reversals. i.e. the Tory's are positioning themselves for a decade from now, to blame Labour for all of the decisions that the Tory's actually made to begin with.
They don't stand for anything at all, other than Brexit.
And they don't even know what Brexit actually is, in practical terms. Never did, which is why they never got it.
So they now stand for not undoing it, whatever it was.

Inflation can look benefit long term borrowers like yourself as the principal amount of the debt does not inflate. Although you might be annoyed that did help boomers in the past.rick_chasey said:
Stone cold winners from inflation. Your state handouts are going up way more than even real inflation is, and your savings are going through the roof.First.Aspect said:
Don't conflate boomers with gammons.Pross said:To channel my inner Rick, it’s interesting that inflation doesn’t matter to Boomers with their triple lock, inflation proof pensions.
More odd is why they find small boats a bigger issue when they are mainly not affected by people ‘coming here taking their jobs’ and already have their own homes. I guess they’re more likely to read newspapers and have their views formed by the tabloids.
And if you really want to channel your inner Rick, you will need to complain about them being enriched by high interests on their vast savings, funding all their high CO2 Saga holidays.
Winner winner steak dinner.

Even the Tory leadership hasn’t tried arguing that inflation well above their target rate is actually a good thing. You’ll be giving them ideas!1

Why not just sell the land?briantrumpet said:Will there be a series of HS2 theme parks along where the line was supposed to be, to make use of all the sites where major works have started? Or will it be like a heritage railway line that goes from nowhere to nowhere, with steam trains making use of the tracks for day trips?

The worrying thing on there is how few see economic growth as the most important. With economic growth you can improve all of the others. Lack of economic growth is the root cause of a lot of the issues. Again, I'm starting to sound like Rick - I need to take a break from this place!
Everybody likes economic growth it is just that most of us don’t think Govt’s can turn a tap and make it faster.
Economic growth is starting to look and sound a lot like efficiency savings and cracking down on benefit fraudsters0 -

I've no idea how many thousands of tonnes of concrete have already been used and how many bridges built.0 -
I would think they still need to build rather a lot of bridges😉briantrumpet said:Pross said:

At least a hyperloop would be proper quick.0

A bloody expensive bike path?
That's what happens to unused railways, isn't it?The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

They could build a really long thin city like they're doing in Saudi Arabia

Having seen the spec of what they’re offering various finance and real estate big wigs doe that, especially versus what the UAE would offer for equivalent roles, it’s not gonna work.
Obviously doing it on the cheap.0 -

In the unlikely event that the line to Manchester is cancelled and not just delayed, why would you be happy about them having spent all the money but not having anything to show for it? I know you don't keep up with railway news but they have already built the tunnels and viaducts.surrey_commuter said:

Has any of the phase 2 work started?
They've done lots of dicking about slightly north of Birmingham, but this largely seems to be allowing connection of HS2 phase one with the current mainline.
It's going to be hilarious seeing them announcing that they are canceling HS2 phase 2 up to Manchester, whilst they are at their party conference in... Manchester.0 -
How many of you find yourself screaming “IT’S ABOUT CAPACITY” in your head every time you hear anyone talk about this on the news/radio etc0
