HS2

I would like to cunt HS rail 2. Has there ever been a more monumental waste of money? Before even a yard of rail has been laid the estimated cost has gone up four times. Hundreds of houses have been compulsorily purchased as have businesses. Whole cemeteries will have to be dug up, the distress and misery this fucking white elephant is going to cause is untold and for what? To cut 20 minutes off the journey time to Birmingham and 40 minutes to Manchester. Spend all that money on stopping the daily misery endured by ripped off commuters you useless cunts. Not too late to end the fiasco.

    • £4.1 billion spent already, and not one inch of track laid.

      Talk about a gravy train – caviar more like!

      Hey-ho, only another £96 billion+ to go…

    • I met him once at Donington Park many moons ago. Seemed like a nice bloke. Quite quiet and reserved which took me back a little. It’s a shame when they go young..

  1. By the time this behemoth is built there will be only 3 cunts left in the cuntry who can afford a ticket from London to Birmingham. And they’ll be ‘competing’ for the franchise. It’s a comprehensive and all-inclusive cunt, whose cunting must have experienced the wrong sort of leaves on the line and is, though long-overdue, much more welcome than the replacement bus service from Carlisle to Aberdeen, following the failure of unmaintained points at Reading.

    Say what you like, when it was BR, it sort of worked and you could sort of afford it. Beyond a joke, this kind of thing.

  2. Whoopee! Help yourself to the taxpayers wallet time! This is going to be the greatest free for all in history. The rich cunts, especially the foreign ones, will be falling over each other to get their hands on our money.
    Then they will be lining up to run their trains on the line we have so kindly provided for them so they can coin in even more.
    Expect to see a certain beardy, grinning remoaner leading from the front.

  3. Getting freight back on rail, using existing routes and reinstating abandoned ones, would achieve far more for the country than this pile of dividends-for-the-boys ordure.

    Osborne should have his feet roasted and served to him drizzled with a jus made from his sweetbreads on a bed of his sun-dried ears, for that one.

    Ditto Johnson’s Garden Bridge: £43M of public money down the toilet, and no fucking bridge at the end of it.

    Must close. The Black Dog is growling.

    • Unless one were delusional to the point of serious mental illness, Komodo, it seems to me literally impossible that anyone could disagree with anything you here aver, your final statement included.

    • Let us not forget the role of Lord Adonis (granddaddy of the mess that is HS2) and Labour in all of this.

      On 5 June 2009, Gordon Brown promoted Adonis to Secretary of State for Transport, in which role he pioneered the plan for HS2, publishing the plan shortly before the 2010 election.

      The plan was subsequently adopted and taken forward by successive governments.

      In July 2015, Adonis was appointed a non-executive director to HS2 Board Ltd.

      Bipartisan psychosis on an epic scale.

      • Ah Lord Adonis!!!

        Has there ever been a greater misnomer in the history of the world?!!

        I thought HS2 was a back of a fag packet last-minute inclusion into that Labour Manifesto in a fruitless attempt to garner a few votes in the Midlands? Nobody seriously appraised it yet hey presto here it is causing untold misery and vacuuming billions into the Southeast just like Crossrail; The Olympic Park and Runway 3 at LHR.

        Wasn’t Adonis the same cunt whose “University Reforms” has saddled the country with tens of billions of uncollectable student debt and now spends his days slagging off that entire sector for its all-too predictable over expansion / poor teaching/ excessive executive pay etc etc…all of his own making!! The hypocrisy is staggering!

        To be closely associated with HS2 AS WELL – yet another cock up- just sums up the rotating door endlessly recycling these dreamy impractical and no doubt Etonian/Oxbridge cunts.

        I’ll never travel on HS2 as it’s no bloody use to me where I live but you can be fucking sure that whilst our local councils don’t have the money to repair miles of potholed roads, London yet again benefits at my expense.

      • He did indeed introduce tuition fees… and is the biggest Remoaning liar (worse than Bliar!) on the planet.

  4. It’s for London innit? Money not a problem. Destruction of homes and land not a problem (outside the home counties anyway)
    Your top notch, right sort, good club, VIP can go somewhere unspeakable and be back for the opera same day. Never mind the decrepit state of the northern rail system. The lack of a complete motorway linking Geordieland to the rest of the UK. Who cares except crude northern oiks. HS2 carries a gravy train for corrupt and incompetent companies and politicos.
    Win/win. Value for money.

  5. “Has there ever been a more monumental waste of money”?

    Multiple computer systems for NHS, MoD, Benefits Agency etc, Millennium Dome, ID cards, third Heathrow runway and not forgetting our EU ‘shakedowns’ over forty plus years. Admittedly this is a monster, since no cunt is likely to be using it anytime soon if it happens at all.

    • The UK has poured approximately £450 billion NET into the EU since 1973.

      • There are certainly a lot of jointly owned assets and investments that should be taken into account… but knowing our inept, lilly-livered Government they’ll either be forgotten or written off.

      • The latest news seems to suggest that there wont be any movement on the withdrawl agreement so we will be heading for an extension, forever!

    • Also the £2Bn taxpayer bailout presented to Virgin and Stagecoach to reward them for their fasilure to operate the East Coast line. And last week £33M to Eurotunnel for sod-all. Small change on the upper branches of the magic money tree, but it all adds up.

      Profligate cunts with greedy cunt mates.

  6. All’s quiet at the moment. Storm Freya didn’t amount to much. But I have a terrible of forboding.

    And all Mrs Plastic can go on about is Gemma Collins has done a U turn and will be skating in the final.

  7. A brown envelope jamboree for all concerned.
    If everyone could calm down, slow down and curb their greed, the world would be a better place….

    ‘Tickets please’….expensive tickets no doubt….

  8. A project which stinks so much it should be renamed H2S (sic)…

    And, yes, I AM feckin sick of it. Or sick on it, as my late great-uncle -in-law used to say.

    • Gosh HBH, you’re not only a connoisseur of church organs, but also an inorganic chemist.
      Kipp’s apparatus, anyone?

      Good afternoon!

      • A failed chemist…although I did try.
        I brew my own H2S at home… This pm, after an afternoon/evening shift, we stopped for (gulp!) a MacDonald’s. Enough H2S under pressure to give a good blast on the Minster’s Tuba Mirabilis. Maybe one day, might even “perform” Norman Tuber’s Cock Tune.

        Good morning, CS !

  9. I used to live in Birmingham, and everyone was so excited about HS2 and how it benefit the city etc.

    Of course I say “everyone” but in essence we’re talking all the fucking big-wigs in finance, politics and big corporations. For the majority of the plebs in the city they were dead against such a monumental white elephant that would not benefit them but would have to subsidize for ever and a fucking day!

    One minute this government is saying we’re skint and austerity will have to carry on for a few more years – which will affect emergency services, not least the Old Bill and the shocking rise in violent crime. And then they’re handing out 50 odd billion (and rising) for this waste of fucking time.

    Cities like Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool etc desperately need billions spent on their on transport infrastructure that will benefit the locals and the environment; but HS2 will just benefit London and the cunts with the brown envelopes and lots of influence.

    We all know by the time this shit gets built it will come in at over £100bn – but no one will give a shit; there will be the usual government oversight report as to why it went over budget, but no one will be taken to task, or taken to account. It will be brushed under the carpet because the taxpayer will be their to bail everyone out (just as they did with the fucking banking fiasco in 2008/9)

    However, woe betide some pleb not paying their council tax or TV licence – it will be prison and/or a hefty fine for trying to fuck the country over!

    Cunts

    • OT.
      Have just heard that oily hunchbacked cunt on the radio showing her true colours. “We may never get out of the EU if my proposals don’t get through the House of Cunts. That’s exactly what she wants. The EU won’t give her any leeway because THOSE CUNTS want us stay in and subsidise them. They’re all a load of lying cunts.

  10. Can there be any clearer evidence for a ‘small state’ approach always being wiser? Point being Governments are not good at spending our money wisely ……and the bigger the Government mechanisms in operation the worse the financial decisions and waste.

    And Remoaners still cannot figure why those with an ounce of common sense have a problem with the ‘ big state’ EU approach? Communism with lipstick is all it is!

    As Dick F says …. get the fuck!

    • Afternoon CW. Well said.

      Except Dick usually signs off with ‘Fuck them’ or Fuck off’.

      Both phrases are © D.F.

      • I did have second thoughts after I posted RTC ! I knew his sign offs had impact but later thought no it was ‘ get to fuck’ ! Hopeless I was wrong on both …

        Either way I will find my own way rather than nick D F’s. Or in fact if he confirms I am wrong with ‘ get to fuck’ then I might take that as my own special sign off. Decisions decisions …. right then back to the GYM to try and sweat off some of the timber I have recently added from my nervous Brexit troughing……

      • Unfortunately ‘Get to fuck’ is already taken by Jack the Cunter.

        By sheer coincidence, see the next post…

      • Drat I Knew I saw it somewhere …..

        . I will put my thinking head on as good old Mr W Gummage used to say!

  11. When I was a kid we didn’t have a car, travel was by Shanks’s Pony, bus or train. The train was definitely my favourite ,we were fortunate enough to live close to a station that had rails pointing to all points of the compass. The bloke in the ticket office had encyclopaedic knowledge of the whole network, tell him where you wanted to go and he would start pulling on the bank of levers on his ticket machine, telling you where you had to change trains, what the wait would be, and anything else you needed to know. Then off you went on your 200 mile journey to your Summer Holiday destination with your packed lunch and Thermos.
    It was a small station, yet had 18 staff and the ticket prices were reasonable. Compared to todays nightmare system it was a golden age.
    The local stations where I live now were shut years ago, the area is criss crossed with old track beds, there is a desperate need for someone in authority with common sense ( HAH ! ) to bring them back to life, but no, instead of this we’ll have HS2 hurtling through about a quarter of a mile away, and it will benefit the local community not one jot.
    Get to fuck.

  12. A transport minister was told some years ago by analysts that the economic benefits brought by HS2 werent really worth the masdive cost because by the time the cunting thing is built, more people who used to commute will be working from home, and there are these things called planes.
    The cunt minister (not Pickles) ignored the report so to my mind it’s been a huge load of political onanism for years.

    Well cunted.

  13. My flat will be about a kilometre from the new track in bucks. I have been receiving mail about it for years.
    Tha c u n t s. Compo

  14. I remember the days of the 400mph Tilting Train , and the special angled track that would enable this marvel to cut journey times to only a fraction, and at lower cost. Yours, all yours for £200 milion ( a lot in them days ) Cancelled for many reasons, including safety and at a final cost to the tax payer of nearly £300 million for “research” “consultancy” “incidental expenses” “etc”.

    A bit like TSR-2 really. But we paid for it and gave the tech to the Yanks. ( £80 million )

    I can think of quite a few projects actually , that never came to fruition in spite of obscene amounts spent on “consultancy and incidentals ”

    I think we are all in the wrong business boys. Perhaps we should all have had well paid jobs “in ” Pipe Dreams Unlimited. UK.

    Many a thieving cunt has prospered from the public purse. Bastards every single cunt in the House of ill repute.!

  15. I can’t wait for it.

    I get so bored with the Pakî accent in London and want to hear them complaining about England, the benefit system, housing, British history, infidels, the lack of halal food, racist white people the lack of mosquës, the Empire, and persecution of the followers of the one true Allan in a Brummie accent for a change.

  16. Agreed cunting. Already demolished half of Euston including a historic underground station frontage and a pub to accommodate this monstrous waste of money.

    I don’t understand why they are digging up half the Chilterns when they cud of dug up Luton and Bedford and routed it via there, – nobody then really wud of cared.

    All that remains is the DaFT to spec yet more shit commuter trains for an intercity route with crap seats and no buffet, run then by the incompetent First Group.

    Lastly what Birmingham needs is YET another station to walk between! That be 4 of them. Cunts.

    • The Royal College of Organists had planned to take over one of the prettier stations, and use it as a more central base, as Kensington Gore became a liabilty, but they eventually decided to go fully decentralised, and save a lot of dosh. Curzon St., I think it was, and poss about 20 years ago, IIRC.

      Maybe Organists’ Review and Choir & Organ mags should have an ISAC column…
      Maybe I should just get a life.

  17. If you go to any Northern town or city you will see 40 year old trains running on rickety 100 year old infrastructure. Platforms and trains aren’t long enough to accommodate the thousands wanting to travel to work every day. Ticket prices are higher than any other European country for comparable travel, and all specific freight routes have been ripped up to save money on maintenance, meaning our roads are busier than ever. And passenger train paths are slowed and bottle necked by slow freight trains having to use the same routes.

    So the obvious thing we need is a slightly quicker route to London for Branson’s rich boy mates. Cunts.

  18. This country is run by fucking morons, each with their snouts firmly in the trough.

    Self serving CUNTS.

    • „Aufhängen sollte man sie!¹“ [Biedermann und die Brandstifter, Max Frisch (1953)]

      ¹trans. They should be hanged!

      They really are cunts, WS, and the wheels are about to gone off, as I’ve predicted repeatedly on here. Never mind “Bronson”, this is real fucking people’s lives and lots of them, and “getting hairy” will be a trite, silly understatement.
      A shower of bastards, and I predict (quite a few) riots this Summer. You can bet your last pay day on that (errm, and you’ll win the bet).

  19. All these rich, money grabbing, high finance, friends of the government Cunts that are making even more millions, (that they will never be able to spend in 10 lifetimes) from this useless fucking vanity project – make my blood literaly boil.

    Come the revolution, I suggest we get all these cunts money in £50 notes, pile it up beneath them (liberally doused with petrol), and burn the fuckers. The more money they have made…the longer they burn. Then hang their soldering corpses from each stantion along the track.

    Greedy, thieving, ‘elite’ cunts.

  20. Fucking pointless.

    Tracks oiled with palm grease!

    Biggest waste of money since Bruce Jenner bought a lifetime supply of condoms!

  21. There will be one good thing about HS2 – it will get you out of backward shitholes like Manchester and Birmingham quicker. Will it regenerate the so-called Northern Powerhouse? No, will it fuck. The north is a waste of time, and I’m qualified say it because I was born there. Nice countryside but miserable, backward people.

  22. Hoots Mon! We need HS3, London to John o’ Groats, with aspiring architects and politicians on a compulsory one way ticket.

    Might get a few jocks coming down but its a fair price to pay and they’ll soon go back when they see the price of a pint!
