RE: HS2... or how to waste £100 000 000 000 (lie to parliament!)

in #uk2 months ago

Most people up north knew it was a waste of money, especially being cancelled in the Yorkshire area, as for the Birmingham line, they’ve spent millions already over the years “upgrading” the line as it already existed, so I don’t get why they would need to build a new line, as one person told me when I was younger, where there’s money, there’s corruption. Never a truer statement.

Sort:  

So true, companies just see government projects as a cash cow, but the way HS2 was managed just seems like total incompetence. To think there were and still are people at the top on hefty 6 figure salaries.
