Was watching the making of Merkel the other night. Never knew she was a scientist, PhD in quantum chemistry. It is interesting the snails pace that is German politics. It makes you wonder how anything is achieved, with everything negotiated to the nth degree. But then as you watch more and more you see this coming out of 'we're here to do for the country not for ourselves' attitude, ohhhh my goodness you feel so awful when you switch channels and see our own self serving MP's arguing over 11% salary increases."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience".

The state should be getting behind big projects like this in a massive way. Look at the new forth road bridge crossing that's going up at the minute. Marvellous. Creating numerous jobs in the process.
