@SamuelOsborne93 Understanding what was going on would helped. Its an hereditary Monarchy in a country where 85% of the population is white. I suspect she would reach for the race card if it was observed that she is hereditary black. Rejoice in what you are, dont grizzle about what you are not

@JR42845598 Oh dear yet another American passing an opinion ofn a subject if which they know significantly less than nothing. This we shouldnt forget is a nation that regularly massacres school children, cos is their right "to bear arms" pathetic

@simon_higgens @RAIL train comes in useful once after 70 years

@HS2DeadDuck Ever delusional, the only person left who thinks HS2 will ever reach Euston - what does FPBE stand for ?

[Clive Higgins @clivehiggins5]

@HS2DeadDuck The ever delusional clinging to the wreckage of their pointless train. How is Euston going

[Clive Higgins @clivehiggins5]

@HS2DeadDuck The cost of cancellation is less than the £11 billion written off on the failed NHS computer system, one letter cancelled that or Londons Inner Ringroad, placed in review and was never seen again. We could create a real Central Park with the land taken for HS2

[Clive Higgins @clivehiggins5]

@HS2DeadDuck Before you make yourself look even more silly, go look up Fractional Reserve Banking & M3 money. At least with FRB a tiny percentage, about 3%, of the money being lent actually Now its a huge ponzi scheme propped up by QE / rinting the effects of which are clear in the M3 figures

[Clive Higgins @clivehiggins5]

@stephenlynn3 @HS2DeadDuck All the figures are available at https://t.co/OXS3YUGQiB All except Network Rail whose special "protect the HS2 debacle" means its effect is redacted, but easy to extrapolate. You have a strange view of investment. HS2 will never return its build costs, or its environmental costs

[Clive Higgins @clivehiggins5]

@stephenlynn3 @HS2DeadDuck If they are so meaningless perhaps you could pop a cheque in the post to cover them. They suggest about £20 billion spent so far, thats not actually true as they are the worse payers in the UK. Goverment either borrow the money or print it doesnt have any money, its all ours

[Clive Higgins @clivehiggins5]

@HS2DeadDuck Interesting term NIMBY, to some it implies something hideous is being foisted on a community and they perfectly reasonably question its validity. For the majority it means thank goodness its not in my back yard and I am not personally affected so I dont give a shit

[Clive Higgins @clivehiggins5]

@HS2DeadDuck The HS2 apologists cling to the wreckage of their shattered dream. There is, and probably never will be low carbon electricity to fulfil these delusional requirements. It will be "turn off everyone in Aylesbury, the HS2 ghost train is crawling past"

[Clive Higgins @clivehiggins5]

@HS2DeadDuck Not sustainable, not necessary. Another cracking idea brought to you by the Dept for Transport to compliment smart motorways. HS2 goes from nowhere to nowhere, at best it will be used under 1% of the population. Oh, most of the people reading this will be dead before its finished

[Clive Higgins @clivehiggins5]

@HS2DeadDuck Fibre optic bringing unlimited internet to every telephone location in the UK was costed at £7 billion and would have directly created circa 100,000 jobs plus millions of business opportunities. As a society we allowed instead a sub 1% selfish minority to have a failed train set

[Clive Higgins @clivehiggins5]

@HS2DeadDuck I never realised that the B was silent

[Clive Higgins @clivehiggins5]

@NTI26637228 @HS2DeadDuck Water industry has a finite number of customers and a regulated pricing structure there is no justification whatsoever for paying £6 million and £4million to the heads of Severn Trent & United Utilities. Its at best a £100,000 job as its just an infrastructure management task

[Clive Higgins @clivehiggins5]

@HS2DeadDuck "capacity" only became an excuse for HS2 when the level of derision for the initial justification of "saving a few nano seconds" reached a crescendo. HS2 "as built" design now assumes circa 125mph as operationally it couldnt go faster before having to brake for Birminham Airport

[Clive Higgins @clivehiggins5]

@jonathan640000 @RAIL @Modern_Railways @AndyRoden1 @Captain_Deltic @chris_railway @CarlShillitoUK @christianwolmar @WilliamBarter1 Is this an admission that northern business men are so inept they need the Messiah to come on a day return from London to show them how to run their businesses? If it existed today, what exactly would it be used for that cannot already by done by existing links or telephone call

[Clive Higgins @clivehiggins5]

@HS2DeadDuck Take a look at https://t.co/ctDforKcfk HS2 have not been able to guard their arses and prove they can tunnel in to Euston, so its stalemate. The original design, costing some £120 million, has been abandoned. Chances of a Euston link are now sub 5% and sinking
