This is astronomically stupid. There's already several ferry services between NI and Scotland and they're pretty expensive because demand for the service is so low.

One of the proposed starting points for the bridge in NI is Larne, which is already a rundown shithole. It used to be a fairly busy port, but demand for ferry traffic has fallen and Belfast has become the main port. Building a huge Brexit-bridge there would turn it into that town in FFVII that Shinra built the giant gun over.

The shortest route proposal is even stupider.

Meanwhile, the western half of NI has no rail network, terrible public transport, no motorways, and can't even get busy roads upgraded to dual carriageways. Coincidentally, that's also the part of the province that's mostly Catholic non-DUP voters.

Critical support for the NI-Scotland bridge on the grounds that so many hilarious things could go wrong, from Scotland getting independence the week it's completed to that big trench full of bombs off the coast of Scotland detonating and collapsing it.

My dad was roped by my uncle into a historical trip to Scotland for some odd reason, because he didn't know any better. And only after the trip discovered that flying and renting a car was faaaar cheaper than driving to the north, being spat at from the border to Larne to Stranraer. "Ferry is cheaper!". gently caress NI, I'd only wish it as a curse upon on the Republic's politicians. If [unification] happened, you'd have the guts of a million voters asking, "Why has my insurance tripled? Why do I have to pay for a GP visit? Why did the rent go up?".

I don't have a link to back it up but I read that that stupid bridge would need supports where the water is over 1300' deep, which is of course more than any tower yet constructed by man

In other news, Dominic Cummings got the Met police investigation into Leave.EU shut down

quote:

Campaign group Leave.EU will face no further criminal investigation over its spending during the Brexit referendum.

It was referred to the Metropolitan Police after being fined £70,000 by the Electoral Commission in May last year for election law breaches.

But the Met said there was "insufficient evidence" to justify any further criminal investigation.

Leave.EU founder Arron Banks called for an inquiry to be launched into the commission's actions.

He said it had "serious questions to answer about political bias and whether it is fit for purpose as a regulator".

Mr Banks added that the probe had taken a "huge personal toll" on Leave.EU chief executive Liz Bilney and her family, and accused "anti-Brexit" MPs of "harassment and lies".

Not a coincidence.
The unionists intentionally decided to not fund a lot of infrastructure in catholic areas in the early 1900s to the 1980s, maybe even upto today.
One good example is the M1 motorway. Businesses were shouting out for a motorway to connect Belfast to Londonderry/Derry.
They built it connecting the majority unionist towns inbetween. But when they hit the first catholic majority area (Omagh), oh woah cant build it there because some Taigs might get some benefit from it!*
Took until the early 2000s, and EU money, to get the roads slightly upgraded for the high volume of traffic to Omagh.


*Edit: Some of the rumors about it was that they gave catholic farmers woefully low compensation packages compared to the unionist farmers. Just like the Heating Scandal a few years back.

Gossip section of The Week, 14 Sep 2019:

quote:

Jacob Rees-Mogg has unusual eating habits. According to former flatmate Simon Hoare, "he has sugar on everything, including Frosties"; he loves cheap chocolate, especially Cadbury Crème Eggs; and eats white bread only. Once he complained that something had "gone wrong" with his loaf. "It was Sunblest. It had gone green. He'd bought it four weeks before and stored it on top of his radiator." But not all Rees-Mogg's fellow Tories find him amusing. "He is an absolute fraud," Nicholas Soames told the Times last week. "He is a living example of what a moderately cut double-breasted suit and decent tie can do, with an ultra-posh voice and a bit of ginger stuck up his arse."
