Sorry to have to break this to you, Dally but most if not all of the decisions to invest in this infrastructure was made before we voted to leave. All bets are now off, entirely self inflicted.

More fool us.

I don''t see you point.

Most of the expansion has nothing to do with EU membership. This obsession with putting everything down to EU membership is bizarre.

In 2010 Inner London had the highest GDP per capita of any region in the world in purchasing power parity terms -- higher than Washington DC, San Francisco Bay, Luxembourg, etc

You could also argue that this situation arose whilst we were part of the EU so, perhaps it isnt the worst situation to be in ?

This past week has been hilarious! People actually believe, sorry, 17 million uneducated racists believe we could just leave the EU based on a poll, sorry, referendum and then when 3 judges abide by constitutional law, the racists are in uproar. Even the likes of the daily mail didn't understand the process. Some random tweet summed it up
Racist: we want our democracy back
3 high court judges: there you go
Racist: not that democracy

just wow, you think statements like this make people who like you who wanted to remain appear educated?

I seem to recall that King James I/VI was a very understanding and educated man who had (supposed) witches hanged (a handful burned) up and down the land. As it happens I did'nt vote for Brexit but will say in support of the millions who did and, at least in the Referendum, prevailed, that labelling them collectively as uneducated racists is in itself, at best, unenlightened. Which form of democracy does Lebron favour? Perhaps a different signature might be advisable, KJ? Then again, it's a free country.

Don't worry, he's not known for his intelligence.

In fact, anyone supporting open borders & freedom of movement across 28 countries with such massively uneven economies should give their head a wobble. It was always a moronic concept.

And anyone who has actually listened to the leaders of the EU Commission and still wants us in the disaster called the EU wants shooting.
