Investment helps jobs, generates growth.

How much will it help bring to the Uk economy though? A lot more than that I would imagine

It will pay for itself in jobs generated and tourism. If you want to grow, you have to invest. The UK and its people are so fixated on short termism that they've forgotten this.

£50bn of economic growth the article says - plus 20,000 jobs during construction and a further 8,000 when it opens. 80% of which will go to local residents.

That’s a bit simplistic isn’t it? 🤣 it ignores that a) countries will always be in debt and that b) investments generate positive returns ie more money than you put in.

people seem to know very little about what governement actually does

The government money will be spent on upgrading transport links to the area - so roads and trains.

this is a good thing.

It's not like they are handing over cash to Comcast. They will be improving roads and rail, which they should be doing anyway. And they'll get a lot of the money back in taxes
