Come off it, that's the old fall-back for those who don't like the idea of something. But it falls down very quickly because the same could be said about any number of projects of other publicly funded things.
Some people don't like the armed forces, some think that privately funded medicine or education should be the norm, others think roads should be on a pay-for-use basis, and there are many more, some or all of which you like being publicly funded but which others don't, the EU comes to mind there.
And so we fall back on our parliamentary democracy, elected representatives having the power to make these decisions, for the country as a whole, on a majority basis. And that is something you were ever so keen on just a few months ago, when you thought it might mean going against the majority's choice of Brexit.
So you think the Channel tunnel should have been funded by the tax payer? Are you bit of a closet socialist by chance.
