    The London Stadium

    And that's just a start...Remember Boris Buses and Boris Bikes?
    You supported the Boris Island Airport, iirc. And Boris Bikes are commercially successful, , but you call them a failure?
    His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

        Nope, didn't really have any opinion on Boris Island Airport apart from the fact it just seemed ridiculous and a vanity project. Boris Bikes were actually started by Ken Livingstone so a success for him but a failure for Boris who lied about it being his project. BTW, each bike costs around GBP28,000...
        Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                It's just a PR exercise.

                "I'm fulfilling my pledge to look for ways to improve the North". The review will say that the practicalities were insurmountable and it will be dropped. But he can claim he did look into the feasibility of doing it.

                HS2 is also a PR exercise now. More realistically achievable, even if it is too costly. But then France for example has surged ahead with such rail infrastructure projects and compared with our historical engineering position in the World, we are way behind.

                HS2 is unlikely to benefit us directly here in Wales, but I support HS2 in principle, not because it will benefit the North, but it will be seen as a prestigious project, just like the second Severn crossing, etc.

                  Never going to happen.

                  But it would be useful for Scotland for when Ireland becomes re-united and Scotland becomes independent and is back in the EU.

                    Don't hold your breath on any of your speculations coming true.

                      McDonald later told BBC Newsnight that she should be Taoiseach as she had won the election. She said if she did become the prime minister she would start preparing for a border poll to test support for a united Ireland and would ask Boris Johnson to do the same.
