I'm having a holiday in the Midlands.
I know the area pretty well, so have been appalled at the way HS2 has carved up the landscape. It looks awful.
Now that I've landed in my hotel, I've been reading up on HS2.
The minimum projected cost is £87.7 BILLION.
This is an absolutely shocking amount. What is the benefit? Is it that important that people arrive in Birmingham about 10 mins earlier?
Do you think we should cut our losses now and stop throwing cash that our country doesn't have at this money pit?
YABU - it'll be of huge benefit to the country
YANBU - we need to stop the work now and try to repair the damage already caused.
