Why does everything take so fucking long?

Gateshead flyover demolition. A1 upgrade. Northumberland Street. Tyne Bridge renovation. Now the Central motorway. Why do these things take literally years to do? It's rare to even see anyone working on these things. In Japan they would be done in weeks. In China they would be done in days, maybe hours. Is Britain uniquely shit in these things or do other western countries operate at a similar glacial pace?

Something kicking off near Jesmond Metro

Big happening near Jesmond Metro station tonight about 7.30, loads of cop cars, traffic diverted, still hearing sirens. Anyone know what's going on?
