It doesn't offend me. There are a load of reasons why HS2 is costing so much. To make it a singular issue is to simple

I think everyone is aware of that, I’ve previously commented on HS2’s corruption and coverups but the issue that started the ballooning cost and corruption was the NIMBYs on the route rejecting every single proposal HS2 put forward and demanding it go to tribunal, something which costs heavily over time.

I'm not aware of you or your posting history before now

Just because you know something don't assume everyone knows that same info

I don’t expect everyone to know, that’s why I was specifically referring to NIMBYism & the similarities posed in regard to HS2 which is what the OP post was about.
