We have just had ten years of crap... more to come me thinks.

I think you’re doing the lads a disservice here Richard. I mean they aren’t actually running the country that’s the offshore corporate interests that are funding them, Russian oligarchs or possibly even the FSB. I mean Boris did meet with them without his security detail when he was foreign secretary.

It simply cannot be delivered because it costs too much and the money would run out long before they reached half way through it.

More absolute nonsense. The country is already 2 trillion in debt, a figure that has doubled under the Tories in nominal terms. Despite selling off almost everything worth selling in the last forty years we are
still 2 trillion in debt because of failed neo-liberal economic policies. The Tory bribe of selling people their council houses and deregulating lending to push up prices is a one off windfall.
Future generations have no such windfall. Only the debt from previous generations extravagance and poor decision making.
Pray, tell, Old Boy, how and when should we pay the 2 trillion back? How do we fund it so we can stop squandering billions on interest payments?
