@Barf im so glad you are back! These articles are depressing. How can you be education secretary and say teachers are lazy it’s just bullshit.

I hate this holier than thou attitude the Torey cabinet has.

At the this point I couldn’t give a fuck who’s in power as long as they address these issues.

Cost of Living (Food, Energy, Petrol)
Inflation
Brexit - we are fully fucked.

Simple’s.

Deffo not a fan of Oakenshotte (sp) or her reasons for leaking these but fucking lol.
Presumably nothing will happen though because ‘Hancock’s a lad - he was on that TV show innit and he fingered that bird at work whilst me granny was dying in a care home. Lolz’

That’s every education sec ever - they say that because teachers are strongly unionised and the Tories are shit scared of getting their shit pushed in.
It’s coming though.
Fuck these Michael Fabricants

They’re currently working in woodland in the North Staffs countryside, not far from where I live. They booted loads of people/protestors out of their treehouse camps last year in order to get things started.

I’m pretty sure it just need canning now, it’s a relic of pre-covid working and travelling. And there seems to be enough problems on the existing railways at the moment! Maybe get those issues fixed? :man_shrugging:

Ive been working close to it north of Lichfield. Its mind boggling the scale of impact its having on the landscape.

Yep. Whenever I’ve travelled down from Crewe or Stoke it was pretty damn quick (Virgin days). No need for it to be quicker. Quite sad to see the disruption and work going on in the countryside.

It’s sole purpose is to extend the commuter belt for London. More people traveling further to all work in the same fucking place while the rest of the country goes into unmanaged decline. Absolute bullshit.

But does anyone actually need to commute any more? This project definitely seems at odds with the fifteen minute city projects.

I suppose maybe if we’re all supposed to do without cars there’s a vague possibility it could support that?

Where’s the big plan laid out where we can see why they’re doing this stuff :grin:

The whole thing stinks, like trams in Edinburgh, the city doesn’t have the space for trams at the best of times, but instead of ploughing the money into the bus service, some twonk decides on a glorified train set that only really serves the airport and once the extension is finished, overpriced flats in Leith. Edinburgh is the new London - Only the super rich can afford to live there but people are still expected to work there.

A few years back I worked for a company who moved into offices in Edinburgh, they used to be out on West Lothian. They chose offices as far and inaccessible from the train station/trams/buses as possible, all under the guise of “trying to attract the best that Edinburgh had to offer” - ther reality was the MD had bought a new million pound house round the corner and it had secure parking for his fucking sports car
