WHO the hell do our elected politicians think they are?

They passed the Freedom of Information Act in the name of transparency but now our ministers say publishing the HS2 rail report is not in the public interest.

The only thing clear is, transparency only applies when it suits them.

If the public were not interested in the HS2 rail report they would not read it and the public have every right to see how their money is being wasted (spent) and who is wasting it, whether it is the Government, county, district or parish councils.

People only have secrets when they have something to hide, so what are these ministers trying to hide?

We all know HS2 is a white elephant only intended to try to make our politicians look good to the rest of the world but as we all know, in reality, the rest of the world are laughing at them.

If it was not for the damage they are doing to our country and the money they are costing the taxpayers we could all have a good laugh at them but unfortunately we are the ones to pay for their mistakes and whatever mistakes they make, they will still get their very generous expenses, not to mention the very generous pensions they will get when they get tired of playing with other people’s lives and living standards.

The reason why so many people refuse to vote in elections is because there is no difference between any of them, whatever party they claim to represent, they are all the same, only concerned with self-interest and it is all a game to them, a very expensive game for the taxpayer at that.
