As I have written before, I am personally sceptical about HS2. But the thing that convinces me most that HS2 should be built is the abysmal, laughable arguments used against it by the anti-HS2 campaigns.
Above we have a perfect example. The poster writes that "Nothing will" convince him or her to support HS2, and that he or she sees "nothing but negativity".
Someone who is not open to arguments and facts, whatever they might be, is a fanatic. Someone who cannot see a single positive feature about HS2 (even if they think on balance it is a bad thing) is a fanatic. Someone who says they will never use HS2, even if it would be best way to make a journey, is a fanatic.
It is the brexit effect writ large. It is idiotic but it seems to be where we are heading as a society. Facts mean nothing. You are wasting your breath trying to use logical argument to change such petty-minded, entrenched, blinkered views. I have given up trying. it isnt worth it.
