and why the fuck would we need it
Exactly
It's just another potential HS2 farce
yep
It'd be more funny if he suggested something to the Netherlands tho
that'd freak the french out
build one between cornwall and the falklands
go big or go home
The sooner crossrail and HS2 are scrapped the better
crossrail has got lizzies name on it tho
no one would politically take it
Ahaha ye that'd keep the pesky Argentinas away from out land 😂
@notaglobe Does it?
colloquially
Ahh
It's taken too much money and too much time to build, it'll take decades for it to make back the money we spent on it
Ahh I see
mmm
they did well to name it after her
Is it even halfway built yet?
fuck knows, i'm not even paying attention to shit in london
that's someone elses problem
Not if your taxes are paying for it
i'm not sure if it is my taxes
isn't TFL paid for by london taxes
Money changes hands so much in our power structure that some of you taxes probably did end up in London
it depends what you consider "in London" or my taxes
True true
To be fair it's a weird saying and probably outdated now since we no longer have a feudal system
like do you mean money as in the capital I paid, if you could track each penny I paid and where the psyical unit goes, or if money for things that I should be paying for were diverted to go into london improperly
because if you mean like, the psyical unit that I paid, probably
Ye that's what I was meaning
yeah, well, in that case, the psyical embodyment of capital that I paid going somewhere else doesn't really matter to me
as long as the money on the spreadsheet that I paid is correctly used
then I'm ok with that
like if some how TFL got their hands on my council tax money I'd be annoyed
Well it the penny is no longer yours really or ever was yours to begin with
(being in Bucks, and not in Greater London)
well, again, that depends what you consider taxes to be
