    Yes rebbonk- money certainly does talk.
    An example of 'forgetting'
    There was an ancient building in Hartshill which was protected.What happened when the person dealing with it was on holiday?
    It was pushed through and demolished before she came back.. All the culprits in Warwick said was ..'.Whoops sorry someone forgot to look at the previous paperwork- oh dear'

    A local MP has come out against HS2, and it's not even election time!

    As predicted....

    Construction giant to beg Whitehall for huge bailout

    I say let them fail, then take over. That way the shareholders don't benefit.

    The biggest vanity project we've seen for a long time rolls on, and we are paying for the folly.

    At the moment, it's probably one of the lesser reasons the Conservatives are going to lose the next election.

    Hopefully, it'll be canned and the money saved spent on updating what we already have.

    I can't see it happening can you? too many committee members being paid to be committee members.

    It doesn't matter how long it takes for them.
    The usual nice little earner for government officials involved.
