From the Guardian newspaper this morning comes this story, with a term I’ve never heard before:
Philip Hammond is being urged to earmark £7bn for new transport links in the “brain belt†spanning Oxford, Cambridge and Milton Keynes in next week’s budget, and persuade local authorities to build the first new towns in half a century.
Brain Belt, that sounds like something a neurosurgeon installs to knock back the intelligence of an overly smart fellow. Donald Trump had one installed sometime in the mid-80s.
