Boris Johnson's New Bridge ....

Why?

Is he wanting to be remembered for some feat of engineering like a long forgotten Pharaoh.

The cost is ridiculous ... and so is the notion that anyone would want a bridge from Scotland to Northern Ireland, especially when we continually hear the Scots want independence.

Then there's the matter of engineering technicalities ... the depth and an underwater ammunition dump.

There's a narcissistic side to Boris ... He's just jealous of Donald with his wall isn't he.

Oh my ... I'd never heard of Beaufort Dyke before.

An estimated 1.17 million tonnes of conventional weapons and chemical weapons have been deposited in Beaufort Dyke.

Hi

Then there is the huge cost of a new motorway to connect it to the M6.

Bugger. Have just lost my post.

I'm not typing out that lot again.

Suffice to say, another waste of money on a vanity project that people neither need nor want.

Re: Boris Johnson's New Bridge ....

The money would be far better spent elsewhere, like the NHS, Policing, and the state of our roads for starters!

Like increasing my state pension when I eventually get it. They keep snatching it away just when it's in my grasp.

Re: Boris Johnson's New Bridge ....

I would like to know why we don't have a bridge from the Isle of Wight to the mainland as a priority instead of this nonsense.

Re: Boris Johnson's New Bridge ....

Not my hemisphere but I'll say at least a bridge is better than a wall.
