It's absolutely baffling to see the backlash against this announcement.
Imagine complaining that the UK is securing a multi-billion-pound private investment.
Let's look at the actual numbers: taxpayers are funding £1.3bn for local roads & a new rail station. In return, Universal is spending £5 billion to build the park and another £1 billion operating it.
Bedford(& the UK) gets 28,000 total jobs, a massive revitalization of a former industrial site, & a projected £50 billion economic boost.
The sheer cynicism around projects like this is exactly what holds the UK back. If we treat massive, job-creating investments as something to be outraged about, we only guarantee our own economic stagnation.
Four more years.

@LandL0rd03@LewisDeighton17 Speak for yourself. I'd probably hang it on my wall in a frame, and treat it like a museum peice. "Ah, yes, the blue paint splashes. Marvellous. Magnificent. An inspired stroke of genius."
@LandL0rd03@LewisDeighton17 I thought this was dog shit when it came out. Moments make kits
Could put our current badge next to the 1972 script badge and show them to somebody who has no idea about either. They'd more than likely say they prefer our current one, but the other would sell more 😂
