Heard it might be a tunnel now lol

It is a pity there is already a filum called “A Bridge Too Far”

https://www.irishnews.com/news/northernirelandnews/2018/10/08/news/bridge-to-scotland-about-as-feasible-as-building-a-bridge-to-the-moon--1453026/

However, Mr Duncan argues in his letter that a bridge has never been built across "such a wide-deep and stormy stretch of water".

"For a great part of the 22-mile route the water is more than 1,000ft deep," he said.

"It would require about 30 support towers at least 1,400ft high to carry the road deck across the deepest part and above the shipping channel.

"In total the bridge would require 54 towers, of heights never achieved anywhere in the world."

Mr Duncan, from Edinburgh, said spanning the trickiest section - Beaufort Dyke - is also complicated by the fact it was used for many years to dump obsolete munitions.

More than 1.5 million tons were dumped, but there is no map of their location.

"No sane contractor or responsible government would consider building such a bridge, and because of the weather conditions it would probably have to be closed for considerable periods if it did," he said.

"This proposal is just another thoughtless soundbite."

The amount of pressure on the Supreme Court now is immense.

He’ll become nothing more than a pub quiz question.

As a constitutuinal expert just tweeted, what are the chances after this that MPs turn up now en masse and test the Scottish Supreme Court ruling by attempting to get back into the Commons chamber? Proroguing was just declared illegal.

My daughter (7yo), when she needs to defecate, lets me know that she needs to take Boris to work, he's a legend in our house.

Looking forward to the flag-waving Brexiteers trying to justify lying to the Queen.

Wish @peteblue wasn’t banned. Would like to see the mental gymnastics he’d be trying to pull here.
