  1. Yet another thing Johnson has in common with Trump - a strange fixation on gigantic public constructions with zero cost-benefit analysis conducted beforehand.

  2.  richard smith  I didn't say "zero benefit", genius. I said zero analysis of costs and benefits. There might be some benefits, but that may be vastly outweighed by the costs. I wouldn't know, and neither would you. And neither would Johnson. Next time you want to take a cheap shot, check your zipper's done up first.

  3.  richard smith  So simultaneously, you're happy to admit we neither of us have any real data to work with and yet you want us to thoroughly endorse this wild proposition, sight unseen? Riiiiight. Remind me never to vote for you if you stand for election. And kitten stroking is kind of overrated. I prefer stroking puppies myself.
