Stand up and be counted NOW

Would you oppose HS2 if it was proposed that it should go near or through your property? If you suddenly realised that your property would be worth less - or indeed worthless - and very hard to sell?  You would?  Almost certainly! Well, why aren't you opposing it if it is not currently going near where you live?  Selfish?  Don't care about others? If all you 'can't be bothered because it does not come near me' people joined in opposition to HS2, no government (and remember that it is not a party political issue) would dare continue with it. It will affect all of us whether or not we live close to the line as everybody will pay. United we stand, divided we fall.
