No not the film
BoJo is apparently keen on the idea of a bridge between Scotland and Northern Ireland.
It begs the question what the **** for?
Portpatrick to Larne is the suggested route:
The bridge, made of steel and concrete, would consist of two levels – one for cars and one for a railway.
Part of it could be a tunnel too, as a way of dealing with the offshore dumpsite Beaufort’s Dyke.
Unexploded World War Two bombs are believed to be one of the risks of the project, which lie near the dump.
An artificial island around 2.5 miles long and 500 yards wide is likely to link the bridge to the tunnel.
Under one version of Boris’ plan, the bridge would run from the Scottish coast over the trench, before becoming a tunnel for the final stretch to Northern Ireland.
Local geography might even dictate the need for two artificial islands to span the North Channel.
I get that BoJo is keen to be seen to be spending money on Scotland as a way of fending off cries for independence (best of luck with that), but given his previous track record on bridges and the general stupidity of the idea, I’m struggling to understand how the money (even on an initial assessment) couldn’t be spent better elsewhere.
