Double down on your ignorance by all means. The company is a government owned entity that does as it’s told by the government, and is bound the act. It existed well before the budget was set and well before things like land compensation were agreed.

So tell me you don’t understand without saying you don’t understand.

The HS2 act, which effectively set the costs (known, unknown and unknowable) was passed by a Tory government desperate not to upset their financial backers in the Home Counties.

So… it seems that with a low turnout from tories, between them reform uk, Britain first and ukip took enough votes from the conservatives for labour to steal a win. I desperately hope that we send the tories packing next election but it’s hard to see this as anything other than a protest vote.

It looks like they might be made to replace the roof lining (otherwise they would be contravening their planning commitments) so that will cost them.

Unfortunately it won’t take. But… it is possible to transplant very large mature trees if you have enough money to do it so I really hope they give it a go.

As if the only impact of climate breakdown is heat. Also; where is India and china’s contribution to climate change. Frankly, this is bullshit.

https://erskinemay.parliament.uk/section/4912/recall-of-mps/ If she was suspended from parliament (not just the party) then she would meet the conditions for recall. I don’t think she has been suspended, yet.

Also; 1/10 of voters is a high bar to meet in the Tory heartland.

Obviously blocking you doesn’t work otherwise I wouldn’t see this nonsense. I’m not your personal Fucking google assistant.

If someone tells you it’s raining outside do you ask them to prove it or do you look out of the fucking window?

As I stated, china don’t publish that information and it doesn’t take a genius to work it out. Troll.

I’ve only got two decades of civil engineering experience in Europe china and now the uk to draw on. I can’t provide a source for the absence of Chinese reporting on land costs because you can’t prove a negative. Although it should be blatantly obvious that comparing the cost of building something in the uk to the cost in china is simply pointless. Here’s a link to a high speed train collision in china that killed a heap of people: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wenzhou_train_collision And another one: https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/high-speed-train-derailment-china/ … and a link to construction labour deaths https://clb.org.hk/en/content/china’s-most-dangerous-industry-getting-more-dangerous

The point being that china has a very different equation when they go about doing things to here in the uk.

Frankly I shouldn’t have to do this for you.

This is a well researched article which cites its sources and wasn’t posted by a Reddit bot so I have to wonder who is downvoting it?
