We need snowploughs, not high-speed trains

Britain has just ground to a halt thanks to a few inches of snow, writes Peter Rhodes.

The Government says preparing for such weather would cost billions.

And yet this same Government is happy to spend £30,000 million on HS2, the high-speed train which no-one wants and which Britain certainly doesn't need.

That £30,000 million would buy an awful lot of snow ploughs.
