Promise Broken!

Dropkick Murphy's I love you. If the neighbours hate you at around 00:40 on 11/1/12 that's their problem. Anymore nonsense out of them and they'll be the nigger family from Shameless where the husband committed benefit fraud to train as a teacher but the wife ended up as a social worker.

Anyway HS2 - possibly the most English story in the history of England. Basically the government wants to build a high speed rail link between Birmingham and London. In part this is because China is very big on high speed rail and MI6 want their own train set to play with. Mainly though it's because the previous Labour government want to reverse the managed decline mentioned in the recently released Liverpool papers and the current Conservative government want to continue the idea by encouraging foreign investment to Birmingham by using the slogan "Look we can get you out of Birmingham really quickly." The painfully middle class people who live between London and Birmingham have objected because the trains will spoil the view in their very expensive back yards. It was around this point I started to weep about how insular and self absorbed middle England has become.

So yeah from the noise Britain made about HS2 you would think it was some sort of code but sadly no it wasn't.
