As a consequence of the ‘Digital Revolution’ I am sure that Mandelson, Epstein (if he was still here), former Royalty and many others now regret the perpetual existence of digital data. Below is 2 minutes and 45 seconds of YouTube video dated 2014. Ian Tomes from the Environment Agency actually talks about ‘three more channels’. It is now 2026 and ‘three channels’ is now two because there was no ‘partnership funding’ contribution and Channel One was removed from the RTS project. I look forward to this video being presented in evidence to the Planning Inspectorate when (if) we get to the RTS DCO stage in 2028 – by which time this video will be over 14 years old and RTS project development costs could be around £150m over the last 20 years.
