V interesting ArchieCarlos. The UK is #1 at blocking and delaying investment (per the article I linked to above). This means we have pretty much the lowest gross fixed capital formation in the developed world and the economic results are there for all to see (this led to the nihilistic political environment that enabled Brexit which made things even worse). Some of this blocking and delaying is well intentioned and aimed at a better outcome but much of it a smokescreen to prevent any investment at all and is a money-spinner for consultants and lawyers. According to the FT the new Kent tunnel has cost £1.2bn so far even before construction starts of which £800m has been on consultants, planning and legal fees. 359,080 pages of documentation! This does not compare favourably with much more complex tunneling projects in countries like Norway or Germany.
