The country has a problem with infrastructure starting with the letter “H”. Whether it be Heathrow, Hinkley Point, HS2, Housing, and of course, Hammersmith Bridge. There are endless others, but I make my point.
It is quite remarkable how Britain has seemingly become dysfunctional about these challenges. You would think for a nation that struggles to show any sustainable significant real GDP growth, and with identifiable weak public and private sector investment along with poor productivity growth, there would be intense focus on sorting them out. But apparently not.
