It stands to reason without so many people going to the troughs in Brussels from UK the future of Eurostar was always going to be in the balance. If it is French owned it’s their problem.

old man Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 Stop being negative peeps, we is jolly good chaps who will, in the spirit of bonhomie, always help others to our detriment? Out of the EU? not far enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVB Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 Why the animosity regarding the tunnel and Eurostar (they are actually two separate companies)? I don’t agree with Eurostar being bailed out by the UK taxpayer but it would be a shame to see them fold as it is a convenient service.

JohnfromUK Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 Bearing in mind we are trying to save on CO2 emissions - I suspect that Eurostar is much more environmentally friendly than flying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted January 20, 2021 Report Share Posted January 20, 2021 (edited) Why should the taxpayer bail out the likes of this, we bailed the bank's out. Has any of that money been repaid in full. It should never be a bail out buy a buy out when it does collapse, let's start making money as country. As for the tunnel let our special services play around in them, good training and would keep any unwelcome visitors from using it. Same in the channel, keep going up and down the middle, any small crafts can be repelled back to whence they came. There is no more room at the inn.

In fact, yes - the bail out of Lloyds (including Halifax and Bank of Scotland) has been repaid and with profit https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-39671843 It seems unlikely that the money for the RBS (which includes Nat West) will be recovered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

countryman Posted January 20, 2021 Report Share Posted January 20, 2021 We seem to be in a time where there is unlimited money to hand out, I never knew the Government had so much of our money in reserve. You don’t think Tax’s will go up surely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
