Double Standards

You'll never hear of this as headlines on BBC,SKY or STV News!!

But a couple of late Ferries costing,£300 million has been headlines for 3 years.

The UK's flagship Hinkley nuclear power plant was announced in 2007 with an estimated completion date of 10 years, at a cost of £9 billion. However, it remains unfinished, with the latest estimated completion date being 2031, the cost has now risen to a staggering £92.5 billion!

Meanwhile in Scotland the delay of a ferry being built in Turkey is headline news.

"Meanwhile in Scotland the delay of a ferry being built in Turkey is headline news." - Well that must be what is important to the Scots.

I don't know where you got the 92 billion figure from. My check locally says about 30 billion. I am local, I can see it across the bay from my house and the workers are living in a former holiday camp 1 mile away from me. The workers look knackered. 
 

Anyway up, things are put in headlines to attract
