>>With the war on drivers
The government literally allocated tens of billions for drivers(including 8.3 billion taken from HS2 funding directly), and zero for cycling or other infrastructure. The whole idea of "war on drivers" is complete and utter nonsense - I'd actually risk saying that no group of people anywhere in this country is as well looked after and invested into as drivers.
And ironically, HS2 would have improved driving conditions in this country, because currently our rail system is at a capacity - so bulk non perishable goods are going by road instead of shipped by train - it's completely insane. It increases congestion as well as damages our roads further - but of course media presented it as some lavish extravagance to decrease travel time from manchester by 8 minutes, which it absolutely isn't about.
