That's how the EU does it as well. If there is a trade war, the EU does not impose tariffs on big important products. Instead, they have a look at the companies that have an influence on the policy makers, and target their products instead. No big impact, but it piles a lot of pressure on those politicians.

I love this scene so much. It starts off with the usual rather caustic interchange between the two of them, right up until 0:44, when Sir Humphrey cottons on to what Jim is planning and realises that it could be a beautiful triumph of Machiavellian scheming. Watching the two men riffing as they find more and more outlandish ways to make the new transport policy unappealing is an unalloyed joy, especially where they feign concerns about what they are planning. It's sad that we don't get this kind of comedy writing any more.

If they want to build something, they could come in and evict you in a blink of an eyes. Infrastructures cover the sky but nothing is done to improve the life of the people in the neighbourhood. There’s no quiet zoning areas where children can run around their neighbourhood, there’s only shops next to residential and everyone live in constant noise. We give up certain things for another.
@Mark1024MAK4 жыл бұрын
valicourt - Heathrow should not be expanded due to many reasons, one of which is that it’s rather silly having people travel by land long distances to get to an airport. A proper study should be done to look at how regional existing airports could be better used. A private airfield within three miles of a large city not far from me closed (sold by the owner) and is likely to have houses built on it. A shame, as it could handle all the large passenger aircraft. Oh, and it’s literally right next door to a railway line, so it would have been easy to built a proper exchange terminal. Most of the U.K. airspace is strictly reserved for the military, so often a ‘direct’ flight is not very direct... No technology currently exists to make any significant difference to the carbon dioxide emissions from aircraft engines, so no government should be encouraging an increase in air traffic. The railways, as well as metro and underground systems have been underfunded for political reasons for many, many years. And apart from line of route and structures (bridges, tunnels, station buildings etc.) there is very little left of the so called ‘Victorian’ railway. The rails, sleepers, signalling systems, telecommunications network, electrical supply systems have all been renewed/replaced since then. However, governments can find money when they want to, to fund and build new roads, including motorways. And to add a fourth/fifth lane under the so called ‘smart’ motorway scheme (and never mind about the safety of the unfortunate motorists who break down where the hard shoulder has been replaced by an extra lane... So as is normal in politics, the politicians blame everyone but themselves as they only look after people who they think will back them, or donate to them/their party.

The bit about paying "full economic fares" does irk me. Yes, Commuter Rail is usually run at a loss. But so are the roads- for which motorists rarely pay ANY fares. Use of Commuter Rail reduces reliance on the roads, and so actually saves money in the big picture (though ideally, both Motorists and Commuters should have to pay "full economic fares"- this would actually make rail CHEAPER than driving, so greatly are Motorists subsidized...) Parking should also never be required by law: this is just a massive incentive on driving. Parking fees should be set by the market- i.e. so high that constructing parking lots is just as profitable as constructing buildings... (eliminating thos subsidy on parking would make parking rightfully MUCH more expensive- but goods and services and housing that compete for the land MUCH cheaper...) I know they're just trying to mess things up, but some of their logic for certain changes is utter bollocks...
