The UK is part of Europe.
Barely. And even then, I would not really be interested in a post about a failed government land scheme in Portugal or Austria in this community either unless it somehow intersected with EU policy or influenced relations with its neighbors.
Its great when stupid people tell you they're stupid because then you can just smile and pat them on the head like you're supporting a toddler trying to form a proper sentence.
Hint: it's you, you're the stupid.
Another hint: Europe isn't the EU. One is geographical, the other is political.
I never said it should be about the EU, I said it should have a European dimension.
This clearly does not.
High speed rail is definitely something that's important internationally. If done well, it could replace a bunch of polluting flights with a train trip
Itβs about high speed rail? I really couldnβt figure that out from the article. I guess HS2 stands for βHighspeed 2β or something?
In that case, yes, it definitely has a European dimension. I retract my objection.
Thanks for filling me in.
But the article could have used the word βrailβ just once. It would have been enough.
In the UK hs2 is a very big thing and this article was written for them, here you would have to be living under a rock not to have heard of it.
I would not expect Europeans to know so the op posting here should make it clear,
Did you even read what you wrote?
Yes, did you?
Yeah, I'll bold it for you so you can see:

Boy I sure am dumb, I didn't realise you said Europe and not EU.
If you're going to start a pedantic argument on the ass end of the fediverse for an article nobody's really going to read, at least ensure that you're actually being correctly pedantic.
The country is still in Europe so it's still Europe related. Do people complain when news in the world news community doesn't affect the entire world?
I don't really care. You called the poster stupid, then misrepresented his argument while quoting him. It's entertainingly incompetent.
So now that I've used reason to explain my point you don't care? Brilliant.
You seem to have a hard time grasping points in general. I never cared about your or his points about this topic. I think I made that pretty clear when I described this as the ass end of the fediverse about an article nobody's going to read.
I thought your flailing pedantry was funny though.
I'm glad you got something out of it. Usually, if I don't care about something I don't have any interest in commenting but here we are.
WERE STILL IN EUROPE WERE STILL RELEVANT RESPECT US!!!!!!!!
Sure why not, I did say you were like a toddler so thanks for proving me right.
The other words also have meaning.
Besides, the other poster brought me up to speed. I understand the European angle now.
