    I partly agree with you, but we need a deterrent, because sine we have nukes we are not likely will be attacked by any nation.
    With HS2, Its a nice thing to have but the cost is silly, but we need more capacity on lines so why not build a new normal line at a reduced cost?

    It is obvious, soft = higher £, Hard = lower £ for now but anything can change.

    Do you not think we'd get by without nukes? I think the US threatening to nuke anyone who nuked us would be enough of a deterrent. Then again with May in charge, Trump might go for us himself.

    So we're now heading for a Brexit with freedom of movement and paying for entry to the single market?
    What's the ****ing point in that, then? What advantage does that have over our current position?

    Freedom of movement will stop, it will be a limited amount. which is all what a lot of people wanted.

    We've got nukes, and the Shermans have enough to blow up the entire planet 3 times over. Whilst NATO remains intact, there is simply no need for us to upgrade our nuclear weapons imo.

    It won't. However the compromise will be that the benefits system will be changed further to allow for free movement for work, but not without out, unless you can support yourself financially. That's where this will end up, and there's a political will for that across the more powerful EU nations imo, and in fairness it's what the original Lisbon treaty says anyway.

    Thats would help, but it can easily be changed by what ever government is in power, for good or bad

    Absolutely, and there is another issue too: I'm pretty sure my dog thinks wearing a coat makes his feet cold. They are definitely heavily correlated and that is actually due to causation - they are both caused by the same thing - low temperatures outside.

    A lot of the alt-right nonsence deliberately confuses the cause and the effect.

    One thing that no-one seems to understand is that new railway lines are cheaper per journey if they are high speed because they have much greater capacity as the trains can fit in a lot more journeys.

    How do you have a limited amount of freedom of movement?
