But they don't speak english! (Even though we all know a significant
number of Japanese and Germans do).  What would they know about running
a railway, after all they have never worked for British Railways and
that is where we get our independent experts from when we have a signal
problem or safety question to be glossed over.

Besides look how good British rail is now that the Thatcher reforms are
becoming effective and compare the super efficient British high speed
rail (180 kph) with Japan and Germany (300+ kph).
