It’s useful to place Britain’s catastrophic bureaucracy and failure to build into context. China has just opened the world’s tallest bridge. It cut a 2 hour drive down to 2 min, features a theme park, a glass skywalk and a waterfall.  It stands 2000 ft above the river and spans 4600 ft. Built in just 4 years. Meanwhile the government has guided it will take *10 years* to build a 3rd runway at Heathrow.
