Boris Johnson: Scottish Newspaper and Policy Haha

boris johnson: The idea has been received as a bit of a joke a zany politician suggesting a zany policy haha, according to The Independent. But a fixed link over the Irish sea shouldn't necessarily be dismissed out of hand. He's asked the Department for Transport to cost it, and they reckon it would be about 15 billion. First, let me declare an interest. It went viral, got picked up by the Scottish newspaper The National as a campaign the next day, and then snowballed until Boris Johnson adopted it as a policy. In January 2018 I posted a tweet semi-seriously suggesting a bridge or tunnel to link Edinburgh, Glasgow, Belfast and Dublin by high-speed rail. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
