That's maybe 7-10 times the number of elderly in UK who die every winter because they can't afford to heat their houses as energy to do so is way too expensive.

You sure won't see an MP in China to object to a high speed rail because it will "ruin" views of some of his rich constituents, whilst this country is still discussing HS2 in China they'll build 20+ times more high speed railways.

A valid complaint , but you can't compare SpaceHoppers to grapes - China is the worlds biggest country, we are one of the smallest of the developed world.

Doesn't really compare.

Really?
Only Germany, Japan and The USA are bigger in the developed world. Germany is only about 25% bigger, if you were going to group countries by population they would probably end up in the same group as the UK.

We are talking about building massive constructions.

In a country with a total landmass 40 times that of the UK completely, I dont think you can compare it to to people complaining about things like HS2.

Population means nothing in this scenario .

>EDIT
I spot a wind up , there's loads of countries in the developed world bigger than us. France doesn't count as developed, or Spain, or Australia, or Poland or .......

If only we had a centralised authoritarian government. We too could have mass murders and wasteful public sector vanity projects.
