Paid to oblige

It comes as no surprise to hear that some forensic accounting on the case for the government’s H2S rail link has made the wheels come off. The accountants were paid (taxpayers’ cash) to come up with BIG benefits. The only problem is that they got overly creative with their statistics to generate a profit of £16 Billion. But that’s politics all over. The taxpayer is screwed and the politicians come up with a load of hot air.
