And so the Judges have decided that the Government acted correctly in deciding to waste £33 billion on a train link that will be redundant before it is opened and overcrowded from day one by those who still think train commuting is a good idea
HS2 is a complete white elephant that wont begin construction until 2018 by then it will be nearer the £100 billion mark and will be so contested by NIMBY's and the great unwashed who haven't had a decent protest since Twyford Down and the Newbury by pass that the Government will want to cancel it quicker than anyone can say "my wife was driving"
But Crossrail trundles on unearthing plague pits and all manner of archaeological wonders at a cost of £16 billion to which no one has batted an eyelid. Bits of London disappear (like The Astoria) and bits are revamped so that East can be linked with West
And it will be complete just in time to start building Boris Airport in the Thames Estuary. As anyone who has flown into Heathrow knows London is in severe need of a new airport and there is nothing like boosting the economy and getting Lord Foster excited as a new airport.
And on a day where Dave Millipede and Nice Nick agree on something that Honest Dave doesn't regarding legislating the Media I have to say that I agree with Dave, legislation isn't the way forward
As Winston Churchill once said "Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm"
