HS2 Bent Boris again!

Boris Johnson’s dad has received multi million pound compensation after being forced to sell his house near the HS2 route…

Anyone surprised about more milking of the public ■■■■■ for his benefit…

There are hundreds of houseowners being compensated for either demolition of their homes or because the line runs close to their property!
In fact it shows that being Boris’s dad doesn’t stop the HS2 fiasco.

I’ve heard complaints from people forced to move that they were being paid the very bottom of market price. Have no idea whether that’s true or not but I’d be interested to learn how much Johnson Snr gets and what the market value was.

Surely if you were offered rock bottom price you would stay put?

Compulsory Purchase Order

The state can force you to sell your home/land if they wish. They typically give a below market value but it is based upon land measurement as well as market value, so someone with fields/farms can do well out of it.

The Government have summat in common with Don Corleone…

Some of our land was nicked (compulsory purchase) when we lived in Brisbane for a railway line. Two idiots came round and offered us a piffling amount causing much mirth. I stood me ground and got four times what they first offered. ■■■■■■■■■■

Boris Johnson’s brother works for Landlease who were awarded £7bn of the HS2 money.

Wasn’t one of Cameron’s (or his mrs) family big into wind farms when that was the big money maker, handily promoted by the govt at the time.

They’re all at it, barring a few honourable exceptions it has always been the case and it always will be.

It’s not always about money, but whoever owns the land is entitled to compensation, surely?
I met an elderly man one day as we walked our dogs near Stafford showground. He had tears in his eyes as he told me that he was getting compensation for losing his farm, but how could they replace the fact that the farm had been in his family for over 400 years, and that all the farmworkers were now out of work. yes, he was getting a lot money, but he was rich before. It was the heritage being lost with bothered him.
I’ve only lived in my cottage for 32 years, but at 77 years of age, I’d hate to be uprooted because of a railway that no-one wants, and is going to increase the national debt!
Btw, the reason giving for building this white elephant was to “regenerate” the north.
Has anyone told the planners that there is a lot more “north” above Leeds? :smiling_imp: :smiling_imp:

Who can forget that infamous Bullingdon photo shoot a few years ago,not too widely available anymore,the one featuring Johnson,Gideon,Cameron and the true heir to the power players…Nathaniel de Rothschild.That cancerous aggregation of hucksters and machine,-tooled system servers represent the most dangerous and damaging poison this country will ever experience.Cameron represents the presumption to build element,ie,despoiling the land with orange rabbit hutches,Gideon the architect of austerity and of course the current incumbent…well god knows what that creature has in store,but HS2 approval has certainly opened his account and it ain’t gonna be pretty,that you can bet.

NDR…?if you’re not already familiar with the crimes of this satanic bloodline then there’s plenty of info out there,ie,engineering of all wars,establishing the Federal Reserve,interbreeding with the worlds monarchies.The rap sheet is extensive.God help us all.

Bang on queue,the default retort for the craven aquiescent tendency.

Isn’t that the very heart of the matter.Land is the truest measure of wealth,grow stuff,employ folk,then big Corpa sends its choo choos right through the heart of this eco system to deliver its drones from one festering s…t pit,to another s…t pit in the midlands.Tells you all you need to know on whose really calling the shots-committee 300,RIIA et al,then the ■■■■■ talk about environmental threats as if we can’t see the essential contradictions at play therein.

You gonna stop HS2 then ? Let me know how your protest goes.

The main benefit of HS2 is to spend the Brexit Dividend so that it doesn’t just run into inflation in our economy if left “unspent”.

In other words, HS2 is still a “Waste of money” - but at least it spends the money inland, with the proceeds laying on trade for our local workers building the damned thing.

The 5g Chinese Phone thing - also has an upside… But it is only one that conspiracy theorists might be able to see at first sight…

You want a network that can be snooped on at will by the government of the host country…

Why NOT get China, experts in that field - to build THAT damned thing for us?

"You can put as much spyware as you like in our network we’re commissioning you to build for us - BUT all such backdoor access - will be available to the UK intelligence community as well as part of the package…

America don’t like it, but the side of America that won’t be liking it - is the very bit we’d rather not have spying on we Brits anyway I’d suggest.

Looking at the last century, I can’t remember in my lifetime at least when people didn’t routinely say things like

“Listen Mac… I don’t want to discuss this over the phone - Savvy?”
“There are other ways of getting into this building”

Meaning that we all take for granted as a cultural thing - that all communications are subject to being spied upon by the establishment at all times ANYWAY…

There’s nowt to lose then. If we’re gonna get spied upon - let’s let ourselves do some spying to fight crime as well, I would suggest…
If the Americans were really that concerned about the Chinese building our infrastructure - maybe they’d like to offer to build it instead for FREE eh?
…Or start re-nationalizing foreign-owned infrastructure at home, such as the US Port Authorities hmm?

Aye,fair comment,apologies for the over egged response old bean,i have this auto-response issue when anything controvesial is put in the tin-hat bracket,rightly so in certain cases to be sure,but watching this disgusting tax payer ■■■■ storm playing out,truly rankles as it does with many of us.Especially the pantomime element whereby they pretended this whole fiasco wasn’t a 'done deal’and the fact that many folk refuse to contemplate the disturbing idea that politicians are little more than figureheads for their corporate controllers,despite an increasing number of us waking up to all this smoke and mirrors tends to stick,stick in the craw. :confused:

It all ways makes me laugh when the say it is coming up north…er Leeds, never mention the Boro or Newcastle or have we gone to Scotland :unamused:

The dirty, smoky, industrial north?
Oh, you mean London.
The north starts at Winchester.
