I don’t know enough about HS2: it seems like a money-spinner but it might improve the transport infrastructure in England. I’m not that comfortable with woodland areas and people’s homes being turned over to the project. It might have its benefits. I’m just a bit concerned about this guy who’s risked his health, even life over something like this.
I think the whole project needs to be looked at again or maybe even paused if possible, Covid has changed things so much and we really should embrace homeworking more where appropriate or at least flexible working, ploughing on ahead just seems unwise.
The money they have thrown at it is insane, the disruption, the shitty compulsory purchases, against the actual benefit just outlines that it’s an exercise in making money.
The way they have conducted more recent contracts just shows HS2 more to what it is.
The people in our government are crooks, just polite, unassuming crooks, plain and simple.

Were they thinking Ethiopia?
Even worse when they have Lucien a pro shoe. I know they won’t be linked but a quick Google would have solved this.
Even typing Jamaica on your iphone brings up the flag in predictive text.
Should have been all over it on WhatsApp messages

I don’t even understand how none of the people who had to see the design and do the press and shoot the photos know what the Jamaican flag looks like. It’s a pretty familiar flag.
If it was on Pointless it’d be in the 80s. High 80s.

It should feel familiar 
‘The only national flag apart from that of Scotland that includes the saltire is the flag of Jamaica. As the time of independence in 1962 approached, an initial design for the flag with three horizontal stripes in green, black and gold was deemed unsatisfactory as it was too similar to that of Tanganyika, now Tanzania. Rev William McGhie, a Presbyterian missionary from Glasgow who had become a friend of the Prime Minister Alexander Bustamante, suggested that as a Christian country, the national flag should reflect this and have a cross in it.
At Sir Alexander’s request, he drew out the Scottish flag substituting the blue and white of Scotland for the green, black, and gold of Jamaica. This design was further developed and approved.’

Kind of make sense for sport , as much chance of Scotland winning any sporting World Cup as seeing a unicorn.

And the notion of successful independence is based on myth.

Is this going to drag out or do you think it will be a quick job?
I really hope he cant worm his way out of this.
it’s extremely unlikely he’ll get in any trouble. there’s too many republicans in the senate who wouldn’t vote to impeach

I hate to say but he’s that slippery he probably could get away with shooting someone on 5th avenue, whether he pulls the trigger or has one of his red hats do it for him.
He’ll have some massive fine or be barred from running for office again, it’ll be the people around him m who end up doing time.
As long as he’s stopped from running for office again then the world can breathe a sigh of relief.
But if not hopefully the conned q-anon lot that snapped out of it will not make up the numbers if he runs again.
