I'm annoyed that all the attention is now directed at Cameron as if this whole thing was his idea. It isn't! The Daily Mail have been running a very vocal anti-porn campaign for the last 2 years (at least). Forget child-porn, the

European attitudes to public transport are certainly more receptive than those in the US. However, European attitudes to big infrastructure projects are a lot more NIMBYish. Asia could be good but then they are quite advanced with high-spee
