- Totally agree with this post. Why can't Britain deliver big infrastructure projects without three-quarters of the cost being leeched off to consultants & inflated salaries/bonuses? It's effectively legalised corruption and theft of state money for private pockets isn't it?
- For the £49bn cost of a 3rd runway at Heathrow, the Spanish could build more than 3 high speed rail lines. - London-Glasgow in 3h (linked to HS1 to Paris) - Bristol-Newcastle in 2h - London-St Ives in 2.5h Plus they'd be near zero carbon. Explain to me why a 3rd runway is good value?
