You've got to be careful on here as you will be attacked for 'wanting it to fail' or similar - this happened a lot on the old board.
Its not that - some of us simply dont think the plans stand up to scrutiny and are loathe to see public funds wasted on such ventures when there are causes across the region crying out for investment.
Its no different to saying hey, maybe this firm with no assets and no history of delivering PPE should be awarded a large government contract to do so.
Well, maybe this company with no trading history, no capital, and no discernible expertise, ostensibly run from someones house (at least it was registered there for the first few years), should be heading up a huge (for this area) project and receiving significant public funding to do so.
