HS2 -Great for The North

HS2-Great for the North Living in the North you know that HS2 will bring huge economic benefits to the weak economies of the northern regions. Justification is the same principle as Cross Rail which reduces the time from the City to Heathrow to ½ hour creating improved economic benefits. The improved communications of HS2 will do the same for the weak northern regions. Southerners are against HS2 because they would prefer that the money is spent in their regions for their benefit keeping all the wealth of this country in their hands. Environmentalist are selfishly against anything which improves the lives of the majority of the urban population of this country and if they had had their way we wouldn’t even have decent railways or roads! Well nearly decent! There is a social aspect. All the best brains educated and brought up in the North gravitate to the South seeking the best jobs, again detrimental to the northern weak economies and its social fabric. HS2 may just alleviate this for future generations.
