Spain’s high-speed trains aren’t just efficient, they have transformed people’s lives.

The country has managed to build itself the longest high-speed rail network in Europe and the second longest in the world, now spanning approximately 4,000km (and still expanding).

"A fiasco like [the UK's] HS2 could never happen here – our fast train network is so popular that no Spanish government would dare give up on it".

Western governments that are so horrified by the Palestinian attack on Israel are the same governments that have remained silent as Israel turns off the electricity to the prison that is Gaza – once again, claiming 'retaliation'.

Strangely, Western officials understand it is a war crime when Russia bombs power stations in Ukraine, turning off the lights. They scream for Russian President Vladimir Putin to be dragged to the International Criminal Court in the Hague. So why is it so difficult for them to understand the parallels of what Israel is doing to Gaza?
