HS2 AND Horsemeat Horseshit

Study the document, linked here in pdf format, issued at the conclusion of the seven year spending-fixing session of the EU Council in Brussels yesterday, and the truth behind the never-ceasing lies, evasions and utter horseshit that are emitted from that Great Wen,  like excrement into the sewers of a city one hundred times its size, will become immediately clear!


On page 3 of the document we are informed that   "Heading 2 “Sustainable growth: natural resources” which will include a sub-ceiling for market related expenditure and direct payments"

Paragraph 17 at the foot of Page 8 starts with this statement "17. Interconnected transport, energy and digital networks are an important element in the completion of the European single market. Moreover, investments in key infrastructures with EU added value can boost Europe’s competitiveness in the medium and long term in a difficult economic context, marked by slow growth and tight public budgets.


Why, we must wonder in amazement, was this palpable nonsense not challenged in a group of national leaders imposing austerity across their Continent. This money is mainly being spent on rail projects such as HS2, which will do nothing but provide track for near empty and non-economic trains to run at a loss for decades into the future, mostly no doubt to be provided by a Siemens monopoly only for the use of servants of the evil EU institution itself. Productive personnel in private enterprise, should any survive the high taxes, required to lay the worthless rail-track, will probably long before have eradicated such individuals, who would of course in any event elect to use the cheaper and faster option of air travel or go by car. This is evident when looking at travel means across other more advanced continental land masses.

The costs set aside for this preferred transport options are set out on ¨Page 9 as follows:

(a) transport: EUR 23 174 million, out of which EUR 10 000 million will be transferred from the Cohesion Fund to be spent in line with the CEF Regulation in Member States eligible for funding from the Cohesion Fund;
(b) energy: EUR 5 126 million; 
(c) telecommunications: EUR 1000 million. 

Note the pathetic €1 billion for modern communications methods such as telcoms,  set against the huge sums for trains and the threat to Britain's energy independence by letting corrupt EU officialdom loose with over €5 billion to distort fully working free market decision making while lining their own pockets and pensions in manners of which we are now all fully informed.

So here is the cause of the latest lies from from our own political leaders of the three main parties. They see €23 Billion in a pot and without questioning its worth compete to get their fair share, lumbering Britain with a useless train line for decades ahead for which we will be committed to buy foreigners locomotives and suffer totally uneconomic transport costs WITHIN OUR ISLAND BARELY CONNECTED (if not hopefully fully divorced) from the Marxist run sclerotic nightmare that is regrettably our neighbour, but which our surrounding sea gives us every ability to fully and once and for all ignore!

AND the horse meat in this post's title you may wonder? Yet more of the total lies that the example given by our political parties have caused to spread throughout society. If not a word uttered by our leaders, civil servants and regulators is to be believed, why not pretend a cow is a horse? It makes more sense than pretending HS2 can be economically justified - within or without the EU!

HS2 Securing Siemen's Market for the Future

Contrary to the impression given on this linked website, extolling Siemens as a UK Superbrand, this conglomerate is a German company whose past is described here.

Like all other German industry the ongoing, and now likely to be permanent Euro Crisis, benefits such businesses, mainly in the longer run, by lower German interest rates allowing competitive advantages in investment compared with its Euro Zone partners. Thus Siemens' trains will have pushed out competition from the products of its French and Italian competitors long before the HS2 line is completed. 

Britain's high speed rail lines are therefore a high cost and unnecessary expense being incurred by Britain to provide a long term monopoly outlet for German trains, destroying much precious and scarce British countryside in the process and placing an almost unsupportable burden on capital availability for modern industries which might otherwise be invested to compete with Germany.

HS2 chosen three character designation has an interesting connotation in this respect, as it seems to fulfill the ambitions of the Nazi Third Reich; thus potentially leading to Hitler'S 2nd attempt at world domination?

HS2 and Siemens - a comment to a post on Communist Britain

The following comment was sent to a posting on Orphans of Liberty this morning, by AK Haart, linked here.

I have been grappling with what to label the destination to which we are underway within the EU for a long time. It is totalitarianism, but given the power assigned to corporations it will probably end up as more akin to National Socialism, but let's not mince words - fascism, although in which of its various guises is not yet clear.

In the UK with the examples you provide, but led of course by the collapsing NHS, given the huge influence of the left, communism appears a better name for this "State running everything of significance" but as we capitulate more and more to German wealth and power we will eventually be subject to what is the rule of order there.

The HS2 approval will only be controversial while the track is being laid, the only portion where local unskilled labour will be required. In the decades thereafter the trains will come most probably from Siemens (OK Alstom may get an initial order, depending how far the subjugation of France has by then proceeded).

Horrendous is it not, as I commented on Thyssen Krupp when it opened its huge steel mill in Alabama, that companies that openly employed slave labour in WW2 and appear to know no shame as they boast the terrible statistics on their corporate websites, seem to feel no necessity to change their name as they bestride the world on the back of the repression delivered by the EU? Is this the maker Cameron wishes for the trains with which he plans to despoil England's countryside, a company that ran 400 slave labour barrack factories:

Can we see one costed justification for the HS2 when it is approved by Parliament this week? Will any MP or member of the House of Lords dare propose an amendment to any enabling legislation include a requirement that all the trains be built in England?

What horror will such trains evoke to the well-informed, perhaps walking the ruined Chilterns, aware of the role played by their makers in driving the Nazi war machine and the surrender that has now handed our nation to their control.
