HS2, Metro and Sprint are highly expensive transport projects that divert money from low-income groups, from insulating their homes, from giving everyone Fare-Free Public Transport.
Diverts public funds from dealing with the climate emergency, from rush hour congestion, from building the right homes to address the urgency of transitioning out of finite fossil fuels.
Instead, High Scam 2, Metro and Sprint all show that the top priority is for flash, fancy, vanity, wealth-flaunting projects to impress the foreign tourist and visitor. They show that Birmingham must compete with Paris, Milan, Tokyo or, Manchester, Edinburgh and London for everything extravagant and grandiose, quite regardless of climate, nature and ecological realities.
No wonder Big, Brash, Beautiful but Blind Brum is bankrupt.
