Exactly. It takes tax money out of the visible area of the economy.

India has spent 45 million to get to Mars.
We want to spend 42 billion to get to Birmingham.

Well, quite.
My main objection to HS2, despite the second phase crossing near where I live (my car actually came to a rest next to the sign saying "HS2 crosses here" on Sunday) is that it is not imaginative or interesting enough.
If you must spunk billions away on a pointless project, at least make the finished product entertaining.

I lived in Edgbaston for almost 8 years, and have learned to hate few things in my life more than the five-ways roundabout.

Nobody want to get "to Birmingham".
Many want to "get away from Birmingham" and preferably as fast as possible...and the same applies to the other cities HS2 will service.
The only instant messaging I do involves my middle finger.
English doesn't borrow from other languages.
English follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

No.
Never discuss money with capitalists or tories -- they've spent far, far more time and energy on thinking up spurious, self-serving arguments than you have.
If you want to discuss people, peoples, nations, the future, aspirations, and/or things that will benefit mankind, take money off the agenda.
Here's one for you personally: How much time does your precious Doctor Who spend on working out how much money he can make?
There's not much point in having heroes if you decide to live a life that is completely antithetic to theirs.

Why give £300,000,000 to a country that can afford nuclear weapons, a space programme and warships at a time when our own people are dying from poverty?
Socialists are dangerous and idealistic and hate the idea of wealth being used to protect their own.
Communism prefers all to be levelled down rather than levelled up, for enter comfort and wealth, exit socialism.
I would prefer the £300,000,000 to be spent on policing, teaching, road maintenance, NHS and Border Controls.

Because it is tied up in law.

Never mind the truth (i.e. that the government under a certain Thatcher was involved), eh?
Just keep putting forward fake arguments to attack anyone who refuses to discuss everything in terms of filthy lucre.

And yet you fail to convince us why we should spunk this money away on foreigners whilst our own people are cold and hungry.

1. Stop talking about money; the topic is "aspirations".
2. One of the reasons that England has managed to survive so long is the wealth it stole from these "foreigners".
3. Stop talking about money; the topic is "aspirations".
4. Stop talking about money, even if the topic is not about aspirations.
