23 soundbite
Yesterday's plan for the railways was launched on the trite soundbite that the Government wants to see a "safer, better and bigger" railway … the aims are inherently contradictory, which demonstrates not only the huge task the Government faces in trying to improve the railways but also the wider lack of coherence on transport that has dogged New Labour ever since it was elected in 1997.

40 greenfield site
terrain m à bâtir (sur lequel rien n'a jamais été construit)Anyone under the illusion that the British countryside is in safe hands had better think again, and fast. The developers are on the offensive, claiming they need to build on more greenfield sites. The government has bowed to the pressure and is proposing an ill-thought-out reform of planning controls, which would guarantee that the south-east would be concreted over. Behind these so-called reforms is the architect of another fiasco, Lord Falconer of the Dome.
