But there's no hard evidence that the HS2 capacity is needed.
HS2 isn't just about current issues. It's about future-proofing for the next 50-100 years.

Difficult to afford that and HS2 so cancel the latter.
Easy to afford both, especially if you have a mythical £39bn to wave about. Also they will feed into each other so doing both makes most sense.

Much more will be saved if it's cancelled.
Johnson doesn't want to save money, he wants to spend it, especially on infrastructure/vanity projects. And don't forget that rail ticks a lot of green boxes.

Start the 3rd runway?
IIRC "Boris Island" was a replacement for Heathrow and Gatwick, possibly Stansted too.
So need for HS2 to connect Heathrow to Brum.
Really? The economic case, even for Brum, is very flawed. Even the first phase will now cost tens of £billions. Elliott will advise Javid to kill it off.
They won't. Don't forget that they've already spent billions on prep work and compulsory purchases.

HS2 will be cancelled
The bits north of Birmingham may well be cancelled but the first phase won't be. HS2 was always about making it easier to commute to London and building HS2 to Brum will achieve that.

I always find folk who cite enlightenment values a bit weird. It's like they all think we pro indy folk want what Andrew Fletcher wanted.
Don't we?

I'd imagine there are some kind of rules built into contracts to stop players doing this otherwise a player could get an agent to negotiate a deal on his behalf and then simply sack him before signing the deal and pocket the agent fee on top of his own signing on fee.
At which point the agent would sue him.

When i first read this, it painted a picture of boys club/ amateur football where the players turn up with their training gear in their bags and have to take it away themselves to wash it!
He taken all his new saints training gear away Tuesday as the plan was he would be wearing it Wednesday when he turned up to play brechin... Only problem was he didn't turn up Wednesday. Bizarre change
Is this why we only had 6 subs against Brechin?

The EU-Japan trade has not helped workers employed by Japanese car makers in Europe.
It'll help workers employed by Japanese car companies in the EU.
And it'll help workers employed by all non-Japanese car companies in the EU too.

I see you still haven't grasped irony.
2 minutes ago, Bairnardo said:The intellectual equivalent of Oaksofts arguement here is that recent changes in domestic abuse laws to include psychological abuse are unnecessary cos, well sticks and stones basically.
Medical understanding of things can only move on so far, on the basis that this moon howler has his box that the word "illness" fits into and he wont have it changed by anyone, including those who are qualified and know better*.
*Understatement of the millenium obviously.It's quite clear what illness is and isn't. Snowflakes don't get to change that.

The total value of hedge funds in the entire EU is around a tenth of that in the UK alone. Mogg opened a single fund in Dublin, he didn't transfer his fund there. This is what its all about, if you're too stupid to see what's right in front of you that's your problem. You can lead a horse to water...
So why didn't he open his fund outside the EU?
M&G moving £36bn of funds to Luxembourg. That's a lot of lolly:

12 minutes ago, Kuro said:Next, hedge fund managers have a particular hatred of the EU because of its drive to put US and UK funds under greater regulation – hedge funds are relatively small in the eurozone countries. The EU’s new Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive has severely limited hedge fund operations while letting the banks off relatively scot free. As a result, continental European banks have been able to nab clients (and their money) away from US and UK hedge funds. For this development, the hedge funds blame (rightly) the influence of the big German and French banks on member state governments, the European Central Bank and (above all) the European Commission.*A major proponent of this line is Sir Paul Marshall, the pro-Brexit co-founder of Marshall Wace, one of Europe’s leading hedge funds. Marshall argues that in France the ruling “énarques” (graduates of the elite Ecole Nationale d’Administration) are stuck in a revolving door between jobs in the big banks and jobs in government or the EU. According to Marshall, the result is that énarques like President Macron protect the interests of the big European banks. Marshall, by the way, was a prominent Lib Dem, but he donated £100,000 to the Leave campaign. Recently he made a bob or two out of shorting Carillion shares, helping put the company out of business.*The antipathy of UK hedge funds to EU regulation means it is no surprise that prominent fund managers such as Crispin Odey and Michael Hintze support a hard Brexit and fund Boris. Brexit is not a cry for help from the English underclass. It is a carefully stage-managed campaign by global finance capital in the form of the hedge funds. It is being orchestrated out of hedge fund self-interest and the greed of billionaires. Boris Johnson is their front man.
The EU's anti-hedge fund legislation has hit hedge funds so hard they've been busy transferring assets to the EU, Rees-Mogg's fund merely being one of many to do so.
You haven't thought this through, have you?
