Gideon urges China to bid for HS2 contracts.
(24 Sep 2015, 9:07 am)Michael Don't want High Speed 2..... pointless and a waste of money, it only works in the like of Japan because they built it years ago.... lolI think there are a few flaws in the whole idea.

The fact Gideon is encouraging Chinese firms to bid (that may or may not include Chinese steel), at the possible expense of British firms (and locally produced steel), sort of makes the situation worse.
I am not sure if he has seen the irony in his claims that HS2, could boost the British Economy. The economy could be in a worse state, as a result of the continued obsession to bring foreign investment into the country.
