Sounds cheap really, compared to many projects these days
It's going to cost £500 million to dig a couple of tunnels in the Chilterns for HS2 to run through

At least the British public will benefit from that.
What benefit do we derive from paying for a £60million boat for some spoilt pensioner with an inbred dysfunctional family?

I understand completely
£60m just seems cheap for a massive yacht thats all...

I would disagree to an extent
the money for the HS2 project would bring much wider benefit if you spent it upgrading existing lines, it takes fuck all time to get form London to Birmingham as it is, we don't to get there any faster.

They should have spent the money replacing branch lines

Just running a double line along the east and west coast routes
would reduce the level of delays massively.

kill two birds with one stone
Make the Royal Yacht out of Chiltern dirt and rock.

That's the problem with this country, no vision.

Never mind the £500M,
what about the £32B that could spent on fixing the entire fucking network rather than allowing pricks to get to Birmingham faster.

WTF is that all about?
