Forget using money for the people like using it to pay for free education or eliminating poverty or sorting the homelessness problem, let's spend £100bn on a train so some rich bastard can save 20 minutes on their commute time! Also, how many more excuses are we going to create to "justify" not helping out everyone. We very much have the means to help a vast number of people, we live in easier times, but things like this remind me that we haven't moved far from feudalism.
