The UK can barely get high speed rail going to Birmingham where they’ve already got tracks. The rest of HS2 got cancelled.

I don’t see how the same thing under the sea would ever get done.

Plus trains here are more expensive than planes for no reason whatsoever other than greed.

I was going to add a jab at the Brits but then thought “nah, they’re going to do that themselves, much more effective that way”.

Practically as an act of economic sabotage. British people hate their country and are actively trying to destroy it from within

  Any non-car related spending is a “war on motorists”.
  
  Seemingly half the country think that millionaire man-of-the-people Nigel Farage will be the one to lead us to the sunlit uplands, and the only position he’s never flip-flopped on is bringing back smoking in pubs.
  
  We are doomed.
