Everyone is up in arms about the proposed construction of three new high speed rail lines. Most of the objectors are moaning about destruction of the environment.
But this is a stupid argument, with little weight.
The better argument for people who live in the countryside though which the trains will pass at 250MPH, is what is in it for me? And the answer is nothing.
Local people will have no benefit at all, the trains will only benefit those living in London and Birmingham (and further North).
So who should pay for it? Clearly London and Birmingham, plus they should pay for the privilege of travelling through our fields and villages.
