No, he wanted a bridge bridge not a land bridge. Which way more sensible.

It’s the spoil from the channel used as infill. Genius.

Perhaps we can also replace the m25 with a moat.

Or maybe Scotland can join Ireland for a new celtic union.

And cornwall can go independent then immediately broke and ask for euro funds. Hmm weirdly that might be better.

Stick a garden on it, adds 200 million to the price tag

Or landmine the M25 to keep Londoners safely contained and leave the rest of the nation in peace.

Or landmine the M25 to keep non Londoners safely contained and leave the Peoples Republic of London in peace.

I don’t normally do this but FTFY.

That's OK. We'll sell you water, fuel, energy and food at exorbitant prices. Deal?

They’ll be fine. After all, they “subsidise everyone else”.

We're planning on extending the channel tunnel so it goes straight from London to France instead

Aint there nuclear stuff in the Irish Sea ?

Turning it into a cul de sac probably a bad idea...tides and currents have their uses

yes, not to mention a huge amount of conventional munitions

You could just put a toll on all the road tunnels instead... oh wait

 

[Puddy_Tat]

an exception will be made of course for residents of north woolwich, which is really in south london

It is time North Woolwich be returned to the lands of its fathers.

Is this actually possible? This would be bigger than terraforming Mars

No

It's just Danny being weird.

 

[Humberto]

Anyway we should make Ireland pay for it.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

I'm not sure I agree with bigger than terraforming Mars but it is ridiculously unlikely.

The cost to benefit Is ridiculous

We're more likely to resurrection doggerland.
At least that is shallow

Bye then!

We'll then turn London into a habitable provincial town after all the pesky Londoners have moved to France.

We're just getting all our shopping there.

We are swapping our Greggs for Pauls

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

We might keep some Greggs available for the tamer sort of you morlocks we keep for lesser roles

Scotland looks like it's sucking Ireland's brains out

 

[ska invita]

Segway question, seems like a good thread to ask it, I remember hearing that an early incarnation of London was burned to the ground by someone don't know who from Scotland possibly before Scotland existed as a country, basically sailing boats down the east cost,.coming up the Thames, lobbing some fitelighters and turning around and going home again.

Is anyone aware of such a historical episode?
