In 2014, David Cameron (Cunt – NA) gave the go ahead to dual (widen) 13 miles of the A1.
For Felicity and James Hester, Melanie and Julien Wesby-Scott ( don’t hate them because they are double barrelled) and Martin Beal, this meant that their homes would have to be demolished to make way.
The scheme was stalled for years, but in 2024 Rishi (Cunt – NA) gave the go ahead
Here’s the kicker.
Unfortunately, the new Labour Government cancelled the project in October 2024, as they couldn’t allow schemes that were ” not already fully funded” to go ahead, after £68m has already been spent.
WHAT THE HELL?
The Hesters, unable to find a suitable property with room for a paddock, stables, etc. have relocated to Cumbria.
Melanie and Julien moved in 2019, after 10 years and much money modernising their home.
The Beals, whose farmhouse had been a family home since 1904 ( yes, 120 years), have now obtained planning permission to build a new farmhouse, after numerous delays in receiving compensation.
Under the Critchel Down rulings, the people are offered the opportunity to buy the property back, but as they have been empty for years, all have said no thanks.
So, £68m, plus £30k monthly paid for insurance and council tax ( with a premium for an empty property) paid by National Highways, plus £100k for the demolition of the Beals old farmhouse.
Sounds like a bargain.

A lot of people are surprised to discover that some stretches of the A1 north of Newcastle are still single carriageway. The project to dual some sections is badly needed in order to speed the transport of Scottish waste to the landfill site formerly known as Birmingham. Whereupon it can be dumped in the street and no one will notice.

To be more specific, 100 truckloads a day of rotting munchie box leftovers and empty Irn Bru cans should be dumped on Jess Phillips’s constituency office, preferably with her inside.
After a few weeks at least Jess wouldn’t smell as bad as she does now.

If we ever get the truth about the HS2 fiasco ( a fast train for Londoners) it will make all other fuck ups pale into insignificance.

Back in the mists of time I formed the opinion that HS2 would always be a white elephant. Seems the government are also forming that view step by step. First we had everything north of Brum being scrapped. You won’t live long enough to see that part of the scheme revived. Being a smart-arse I figured the next logical step was to cut the speed on the line. This gives a huge boost in capacity. Since kinetic energy is proportional to the square of velocity halving the speed would safely quadruple the capacity of the line. It’s just been reported, or at least leaked that sure enough the speed is to be reduced yet again. Look out for the next desperate cost-cutting measure in this barmy project which should never have seen the light of day. Going back closer to the nom, in this part of the world there are now some impressive cuttings, holes in the ground and gigantic concrete flyovers where there were just boring trees and grass before.

Dialysis tomorrow Sunday morning at 6am (don’t ask)., And the Norman Horn is rattling again. Watching the legendary Sweeney. Janet Key (who played Kate Regan) was hornmongous. Wanda Ventham as a villianous MILF in the same episode (Abduction) was also mega.
Just the heat and various drugs and shit having an effect. Thanks for tolerating it anyroad.👍🔥

All the best for tomorrow, Norm. To help pass the time in dialysis, draw up a technicolour mental list of top fanny from the golden age of TV. As well as those you’ve mentioned, slide Sharon Duce in for me. Linda Thorson too. Take a change of trousers.

Gabrielle Drake too – excuse me, must dash off upstairs.

Anne Aston in her prime is worth serious consideration, Norm. Good luck old bean!

My thoughts will be with you dear Norman.

They won’t need compulsory purchase orders in the new, death cult, led Britain. If the state fancies taking your house it will kill you under the terms of the new euthanasia laws. They are coming to take you away. Hitler would have been so proud.
Good afternoon, everyone.

The Assisted Dying bill is not worth the paper it’s printed on.
We’d be far better off just copying and pasting the legislation in Switzerland.

Got to go to the HoL, Shits.
They won’t pass it, out of sheer fear.

Compulsory purchase….Isn’t that what the trafficking gangs have taken out on GB 😩….

We sold everything worth owning years ago. Spending money we don’t have, to keep feckless lazy cunts in comfort they don’t deserve.
Waste of time building new roads, we can’t repair the shitty ones we already have.
12
Too right Barry, that money would have been better spent on summat useful, like filling potholes or building another fucking useless Dutch roundabout.
I wonder how much ended up in someone’s trouser pocket?
Also, if schemes that aren’t ” already fully funded” can’t go ahead explain HS2? ( I know it’s a railway not a road, but still)
Got to wonder how many family homes have been compulsory purchased for that farango?
6
According to the government, the HS2 project has caused the compulsory purchase of 1,250 properties, at a cost to the taxpayer of £3.6 billion.
More than likely an underestimate.

“I wonder how much ended up in someone’s trouser pocket?”
Just imagine Jeezum if instead of most transactions being done electronically everything was done in bank notes. You could record the serial no. when a note departed a taxpayers wallet and later on find out in whose wallet it ended up. Now wouldn’t that be an interesting and illuminating exercise?

The circus rolls on 🤡🤡🤡

I imagine it must be particularly galling for those who had the state buy their homes to make way for HS2…
Only to find it was all cancelled and their homes now lie empty.
Until the empty houses are “obtained” by Serco and filled by Afghans and other filthy rubbish.
Compulsory purchase might have been necessary once upon a time but have become just another blunt instrument of the State.
Clueless corrupt arseholes sell your house for no good reason?
Fuck off,burn it to the ground.
Fully paid up State Oven.

I had my property compulsory purchased 24 years ago, but I was evicted by savages with pangas and haven’t yet been paid yet, I’ve still had the last laugh though, anyway compulsory purchasing is a communist trojan horse to asset strip the decent folk of the land and feather the nests of the unworthy cunts!!!

I lost one of my favourite local pubs, due to a compulsory purchase order, The Mucky Duck at Sellinge a few years back, to make way for the
Channel Tunnel Rail Link. That really pissed me off, Cunts!

What if they need to knock it down for a new track to the waterhole and they offer you free FGM for it?
Come on Sam, everyone has their price.

Just carry on collecting the water from some five miles away Sam. Make sure you boil it first though, before consumption, to get rid of the acrid smell of animal excrement. That should avoid the thought of anyone coming round to perform Compulsory Genitalia Mutilation.(CGM)

It’s the future under labour, compulsory purchase, compulsory death, compulsory abortion, compulsory voting for Rodney under pain of death.
Fuck it, I’m having a compulsory beer, with more to follow..

Theres another name for compulsory purchase.
Theft.
Thats what it is.
Taking anothers property without consent.
Some farms have been in a family for 200 yrs or more.
That land has been maintained and tended by generations.
And theyre meant to rollover for some pencil pushing communist because they want the land to home people who have broken into our country without invite?
Fuck that.
I genuinely find it morally repulsive.

I’ve even known of churchyards, were the dead & burried that are suppose to be “resting in peace” have been dug up, just to make way for a build of some description, maybe a roundabout, or a Tesco Express.

Morally? Fuck me Cunt Engine will be talking about modesty and decency next.

Grandad had quite a bit of land and a bungalow compulsory purchased for a new junction on the A38 they paid him fuck all and in the late 60s there was fuck all you could do..

1. The government governs on behalf of citizens. But it’s always citizens who get fucked by the government.
2. It’s only tax payers money, big infrastructure projects are the best way to channel that money into friends pockets and secure a well paid job once one leaves government.
3. Lessons have been learned.
4. Our mate Benjamin Netanyahu says the best way to avoid an enquiry is to start a war or three.
5. Rinse and repeat.
