30 Years Ago Today

[Canary42]

30 years ago we were still an adventurous and outward looking nation who did stuff like build the Channel Tunnel.

Now we've degenerated into a frightened, myopic, and inwards looking nation, intent on hiding away behind trade barriers we've erected against our European neighbours (no matter the harm to our own economy we're inflicting in the process).

Waiting for the first week in january when Britain grinds to a halt, but this time it won't be the snow or the leaves on the track it will be Britains Brexit comeuppance.

Crossrail is testament that we are still great at incredible engineering feats. It is remarkable.

Brexit might be folly. But don’t knock our world beating engineers to make a lazy point.

[Bobbisox1]
