And cut back on the NHS, and teaching and the welfare state
and the police, and .....

What difference would it make? Labour have supposedly spent billions extra
on the NHS in the last few years, no improvement. Eliminate the waste, the
thousands of unnecessary admin staff - and spend the savings on new roads.

Besides, the recently announce widening of 25 miles of the M1 is costing the
same as the M6 Toll road cost to build. Why the government constantly
fritters its money away on widening existing roads rather than building new
ones is beyond me.
