I strongly believe in large infrastructure projects to improve communities, provide construction jobs etc etc. But the idea that the UK needed a space port is absurd.

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

*Two spaceports, relatively close to one another.
Glasgow is the biggest satellite manufacturing location in Europe, so it probably does make sense to have some kind of launch capacity nearby too. It just, as the other person already said, perhaps makes less sense to have two separate launch sites servicing the same market
spending money on a space program is great but only when homelessness and hunger doesn't exist anymore.
Bit like Johnson’s bridge …or was it bridges?
