Or if you fancy saving wildlife in Namibia, you could buy 1,000 square kilometres for £8m.
yup! Exactly. Even for the stated aim of saving bats, the £100 million is being badly spent there
if everything is fungible why not build the whole railway in Namibia?
I'm not sure if you're serious, but the British government is trying to improve British infrastructure. A railway in Namibia wouldn't do that. If you're concerned about UK wildlife, you could do the 1000-acre rewilding Rob suggested much more cheaply than £100m and I bet it would many save more bats
