    I listened to Bozza earlier, not impressed at all.

    COVID has proven that we don't need this, yet the muppets are pressing on regardless. The expression about fools and their money comes to mind, except that it's OUR money!
    Of course it'll fit, you just need a bigger hammer.

    I can't believe the cart load of bull that the PM is spouting. I am so angry about this ridiculous, ill thought out £ billion project! Johnson us just an absolute tool!

    I have yet to see a publicy funded project not run over on both time and cost. I could be cynical here and suggest that the cheapest price wins the contract, but knows full well that once the project is underway they can do what they like.
