that big white elephant HS2 is an EU requirement, so that the big knobs in Brussels can get around their territory more quickly, almost a gravy train really.
Any organisation that takes £10 billion off you and gives you about 3 back for projects providing you put massive signs up saying 'funded by EU' is a bit dodgy, it is even more dodgy when they use your money to bribe companies to move industry from your country to places like Poland, Hungary etc ( or even move Ford Transit to Turkey ).
