An interesting idea

.. what could have been done with £100bn?

An interesting idea was suggested to me by The Times on the day that the latest report on the HS2 debacle came out. What, the man from The Times asked, what could have been done with £100bn as opposed to spending it on HS2?

That touched a nerve. As a long term opponent of HS2, I argued that there was much else that should get priority in terms of both the railway but also transport as a whole.
