Do you think the planning has got that far yet ?

You'd like to think some thought had gone into it before going public, yes...

You know full well what you did there. The only decent thing to do now involves a bottle of scotch and a revolver.

Why ?

Please show any quote from Mr Jonhson (or anybody) that shows any confirmed intent to build it. Ideas have to start with the discussion on what is possible..

TinFoil hat slipped then ?

It is just the germ of the idea. Will it develop? who knows. I for one remember the scoffing at the thought of the Chunnel.

[Jazzy Jag]

Why don't we have some sort of floating things that we could load vehicles and passengers on and make them Co back and forth between, say , Dover and Calais?

It would be far cheaper and more flexible than a fixed bridge.
Not being fixed, it could also go to different places, perhaps Folkestone or Dieppe?

The would be linking us by sea.

Perhaps we could call it a Sealink?

Or a water skimmer, or a hydro plane, or a wetmobile

The income generated by cross-Channel traffic was never going to be sufficient to repay the construction costs of the Chunnel, same will apply to Bozo's bridge.

As a long-term national infrastructure project, there is more to it/made from it than just the fee's paid to cross it. (or any type of crossing)

Some people here have all the foresight/understanding of a BigMac seller

The French of course.

I'd have thought this and HS2 would pretty much bankrupt the country.

Lack of foresight. Why did Boris come up with this idea 12 months after he got us to leave Europe?

(had to edit your post, you made some typo's)

Is that how major construction projects work in your world? Complete the planning process and then estimate costs?

I bow too you're expertize in the field of tipos.

We could join some kind of union of countries across Europe who would all benefit from increased integration and trade, then spread the cost between them.

You forgot the first step. High-profile press release, THEN plan, finally estimate costs.

It's the Boris way.

Why bother with the rest of the cabinet? Just let Boris do it all.

It's working just fine for Bolton, in his freshly drained infighting-free swamp.

Starting to think it might actually be Boris' PH account.
