"In a desperate bid to divert attention from covid, brexit chaos and cladding scandal, the government is floating (sinking?) the idea of a tunnel to northern Ireland. All a bit Garden Bridge and Boris island. " Pretty much just a cynical attempt to distract from the NI protocol and to get the DUP to stop the dogwhistle threats. However this being Boris, they won't pass the opportunity to commission a feasibility study funneling a few million to their supporters. | |||

" I guess by that comment you have already done a feasibility study and cost assessment then you should send it to Boris and save the country some time and money. | |||

I did see that boris proposed a bridge way back when he was foreign secretary though so i guess that debunks the idea that its a diversion from covid and brexit. | |||

" Well I prefer being realistic, as pointed out above, feasibility studies haven't been encouraging. 3 months ago it was a bridge that was sugggested but that didn't get off the ground. The estimated cost of 20 billion isn't realistic. If you knew anything of the politics of NI and Scotland you would see this for the dead cat it is. NI has massive infrastructure issues and big holes in education provision, but that doesn't make the DUP happy so instead we have this ludicrous idea that will fall off the headlines in a few days. If it means you don't have to think about starving children, well carry on I suppose. | |||
