HS2 is under review but there are far too many Tories who have their fingers in the pie for it not to go ahead.
They stand to benefit the most from this, as they have a vested interest in the companies which are used to build it.
Once again, I believe that if you propose a project like this, members of the public should have the option of deciding the route of will take.
So i 'd be quite happy for an mp who financially benefits from this, let's say they are a shareholder in x company which has secured one of the contracts, if the route went straight through the village in which they live.
Once again, the proposed, agreed route, once passed in the initial stages has been severely altered and changed.
This damages people's lives and not necessarily the lives of those who stand to benefit.
The new route will now descimate an ancient area close to where people I know live.
This is a deprived area.
Take away the only woodland and you have problems.
The young people who use that area maybe to escape their dull, pointless lives and go fishing or attend the many volcanoes which operate in the wood will cease to exist.
Do you know what happens when young, disaffected people loose the only decent outside areas they feel are theirs?
They take it out on other ways.
The local senior school, being an academy , has lost hundreds of thousands of pounds.
Organised trips which were oversubscribed and took those students who achieved their various targets which the school set, on various days out during the school holidays have been scrapped.
The only people to blame for scrapping those trips is this government who forced the school to become an academy.
So where could these students go?
Well they could go to the beautiful woodland.
Oh wait no this government is destroying that.
There is no benefit for these people from HS2 , none.
So what will these young, bored youths do now?
The school cannot do anything else for them, it is in its knees and shedding staff.
I would like to see a new route proposed which smashed straight through Tory strong holds. Destroying their parks, homes, businesses.
Oh did I mention the area I described is a Labour area?
What a coincidence!!!!!!
Yes if you are in favour of wasting £88 billion on this bloody white elephant then I suggest we 're-route it so that those who want it can pay the price for it.
Now let's not forget that whilst these young people whose area becomes a bleak noisy landscape, where house prices fall due to the location of HS2 , and the desirability to work or live there plummets, let's not forget that the number of police officers had been slashed.
So anyone who suffers from say, car theft due to the disaffected youth, will now have to suffer the consequences of the Tories cutting police funding.
So, you will not be protected by the overstretched police , your house value will plummet , you will live in a shot hole and you STILL won't benefit from the 88 billion plus spent even though you have paid for it!!!!!
