      But a few of Boffo Boris!’s chums made quite a bit of dosh from the public purse, so who’s to say it’s all bad?

        I feel duty bound to say that the DLR came about because Thatcher was trying to cheap out on a jubilee extention and that there’s been much more cost since the initial cost to bring it up to the current level of operation.

        That’s not overtly a criticism perhaps a cheaper MVP that you can get over the line politically and upgrade along the way might be the right way to do it but I wonder if it would have been cheaper to do it at the start

    It’s way to expensive to be anything other than a novelty.
