Hamwich, you have put the costs into perspective.
The bank bail out led to austerity that hugely affected people in ways that they did not deserve. Spending money that is more directly going to those suffering is a must under Covid conditions. The same for the help to people, businesses, charities as we exit the pandemic.
HS2....never been a fan of it as the justifications for it are tenuous to say the least. Covid has seeded a change in showing the ability to work from home can be expanded. So do we need a fast train for potentially unnecessary journeys?
The money is needed elsewhere to provide better value and use if nothing else. £100bn would be a good boost to keeping businesses afloat. Many will not be seen again.
