Part of me wants to cry because of the inability of the wheels of government to knock some heads together and get this done for a sensible price

Your reference to investment is factually correct, none of us at this end of the country are suggesting vast subsidies, but by the same token you would have to be blind not to see the economic benefits of investing in by way of example, transport which at this end of the country is in places, on its knees !

One of the most telling comments on referendum night was by the BBC luvvie consigned to cover the Newcastle result ...
“this area has benefited from £90m of investment over 7 years so is expected to be a remain“
Oh my goodness £90m, yep £90m, if ever there was a case of a BBC reporter not having a clue about the value of money….
So essentially the total sum invested from Central Government over 7 years buys "wait for it" 3 mile of dual carriageway !
SPECTACULAR !
