My column @heraldscotland Absence of sneering mockery for bizarre Boris Union bridge plan shows Tory perception-reality gulfhttps://www.heraldscotland.com/business_hq/18234442.ian-mcconnell-bizarre-boris-bridge-highlights-tory-perception-reality-gulf/?ref=twtrec …
I read serious instead of senior. So many issues with a bridge that long.

I guess whether Johnson is serious is a matter of opinion. But he’s definitely senior. Unfairly perhaps, as a hack, I would use support for this jobs of thing as being a short cut for deciding whether a politician is an idiot or not. Luckily we don’t have many idiots.

1. Who will maintain a unionist bridge and with what funds? Devolved admins?? 2. Who will use it once petrol and diesel cars are banned? 3. How do you rescue people from a jacknifed lorry accident 10 miles along the bridge? 4. Opportunity costs for investment in D&G and NI.

There are many far longer bridges in the world now, the real questions probably relate to the nature of the water, what’s on the seabed, economic viability and what parts of N Ireland and Scotland would be connected. It’s a nice idea in theory though.

Not suspension bridges in deep water. The Chinese ones are esturine.
