I'm sorry that the news doesn't fit your political narrative, but insulting me won't change that.
I'd probably have gone with fear of homicidal nutters costs Lambeth 1.5 mil
Tbh it's very likely these measures wouldn't have been needed if different decisions had been made at various times over the past 20 years around Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria abroad and responses to sept 11, 7/7 and so on here. The landscape of cities has changed from promoting a convivial atmosphere in public spaces to landscapes of defence. There was a post recently about a little kid in America who'd been at or near two shootings and said she always expected something to happen. To my mind bollards to prevent vehicle terrorist attacks are at least as sad be they these bollards or the barriers on London bridges or the walls on Whitehall: or the barriers outside parliament which divide MPs from the public they affect to serve. Millions upon millions has been spent on these measures - which only serve to emphasise how much politicians still have to do to make not only their foreign policies but domestic policies ethical. But under neither labour nor Tory parties have they ever really tried. Which is why vast sums are spent one things like this while everyone remains under siege.
This is all true, but I think the immediate point of the story is supposed to be that the cost of the bollards has gone up. This has been blamed by Lambeth Council on the price going up as a result of Brexit., and this claim has been quoted as fact by editor without examination, presumably because it's "handy" and fits his anti-Brexit position.
Oh yeh on those levels you're quite right. But that these bollards were thought necessary in the first place is in large measure down to many many years of government policies
Sorry mate, this is the big Brexit thread, we don't want any of your historical perspective and nuance here, kindly take them elsewhere.
Yeh shallow ill-informed burble here
And especially no references to issues which existed during the prelapsarian times before BrexitYeh shallow ill-informed burble here
I'm not up with the world of steel , could you explain what the impact of Brexit was on steel prices?and on the other side no references to issues that were actually caused by Brexit.
It's true, a few people are doing that.and on the other side no references to issues that were actually caused by Brexit
I have a similar level of expertise as yourself
Ah but if you're a brexiter then you'll notice those more and not-notice those on the other side.
1. I didn't write the article
My whole point is that you appear to have accepted without question Lambeth's claim that Brexit is to blame for the price rise, I suspect because it handily fits your anti-Brexit narrative.
A quick look at the price of steel shows it has risen due to covid and this report about spiralling costs on a project in hull separates steel price rises from shite from brexit Spiralling extra costs of flagship council schemes in Hull top £24m
Oh, that sounds mysterious. Please elaborate on Lambeth's subterfuge and be sure to back it up with some proof rather than pro-Brexit bluster.
However, the future is unclear as the global picture remains fluid, the company added. Brexit and the introduction of the protocol have been challenging, particularly in relation to price rises for materials, demand and navigating customs.
Quotas introduced by both the European Union and the UK has led to an increase in prices over the last six months to the end of June.
Steel mills are experiencing higher raw material costs while demand is high, further pushing prices up.
Steel firm shows its mettle as profits rise by £1.1m despite Brexit and Covid
Advance buying by customers of raw materials ahead of the end of the Brexit transition had a “significant impact” on the performance of Co Down steel supplier Walter Watson, which reported profits up by £1.1m last year.www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk

TBH, I've got better things to do with my time than respond to your increasingly nonsensical posts.
10/10 for the swerve. You suggested that Lambeth weren't being straightforward in their statement. So I asked you to back that up.
Right.so the world wide rise in the price of steel - proved by the link in my last post - is down to brexit. Glad we have that cleared upOh, that sounds mysterious. Please elaborate on Lambeth's subterfuge and be sure to back it up with some proof rather than pro-Brexit bluster.
Meanwhile, here's proof of Brexit causing an increase in steel prices.
