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.
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 .......

Doesn't really compare.

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.
Doesn't really compare.

At least the Warmistas will be happy.
The Human Rights brigade are clearly unhappy (China did it so it can't be good)

That's almost half of UK electricity consumption, and runs day in day out without needing to buy dodgy Russian gas. Lucky (and smart) beggers.
