No 4G for Europe but new railway lines plough ahead

While I was out making the above video this morning Reuters issued a press release on how President Hollande's growth plans are being thwarted by the need for austerity, linked here, from which I quote the following:

In a country already crisscrossed with high-speed trains and world-class motorways, the national audit office said many of France's highest-profile projects in the pipeline were incompatible with a push to rein in the deficit.

Well at least the National Audit Office is watching the Brussels bureaucrats and blinkered national French politicians. Who is doing that job in Britain? Well may we ask over HS2 as Cameron's crazed obedience to everything the EU ordains is driving the nation to bankruptcy faster than a High Speed Train!!
