NIMBYISM

Britain today is becoming a country of self centered people. The £34 billion high speed train that is planned to go from London to Birmingham has hit the buffers if you'll pardon the pun because of the people with wealth who do not want it running through their gardens, these self centered people who don't bother when thousands of people have had their housed demolished to make way for motorways. These similar self centered people who are opposed to the third runway as Heathrow airport, who cancellation is prompting British Airways to move its operations to Madrid in Spain who's airport has four runways. These same people who are opposed to the third runway because it may impede on their lives with noise and disturbance to their tranquil way of life. These same people who don't bother about all this when they are jetting off on holiday to America or the Bahamas. These same people who leave in one year a carbon footprint that most people don't leave in twenty years. These are the people that are driving Britain to become a third world country, let alone a third world power. Other countries are driving their economies into the twenty first century these nimby people in Britain are driving us back into the nineteenth century.
