Saying you cannot build Silver-Boris in the Thames estuary because some lard-arse cannot move house, is the poorest excuse ever. In fact, if that were a legitimate reason for not creating new infrastructure or developing a new company, then you may as well just close down the entire nation. Turn off the lights, and all move to Africa - because I hear that the Liberal Party wants everyone to live in mud-huts 'in-tune-with-nature' anyway.
No the reason is that it's a bad business case, so the private sector isn't interested, and the government aren't going to build it either, they're fixated on HS2.

NO, I am not a Socialist, just to save you the trouble. NO, I am not a Conservative and NO the Liberals have also got it wrong.)
Quite right, PAXboy. It's significant that New Labour doesn't rate a mention.

Perhaps it comes under "Conservative". Apart from the wars of choice, it's difficult to tell the difference.

Think most of us would be regarded as "none of the above" these days.
