Surely more 'putting off' of what 'successive governments have done for decades'????? Oh the irony - was it lost on the Minister?

" said:Surely more 'putting off' of what 'successive governments have done for decades'????? Oh the irony - was it lost on the Minister?Unfortunately, it's necessary pragmatism. The GW electrification has descended into farce, so they're postponing MML and TP to throw resources at that. EDIT TO ADD: Tony Miles gave an excellent summary of what's going on in Simon Mayo's Radio 2 show this evening. It can be heard here, skip to 25:20. Non-UK residents may not be able to listen. "Don't stress/ relax/ let life roll off your backs./ Except for death and paying taxes/ everything in life.../ is only for now."
