This is nuts. How would they compensate for tectonic plate movement?

It’s a hard pass for me. Plus, you can buy a lot of plane tickets for $20T.

This is nuts. How would they compensate for tectonic plate movement? Snorkelers will be distributed to passengers in case of "incident"*
*there may possibly be fewer snorkelers than passengers to avoid a cluttered appearance in the cabin

Only if it’s a one-way tunnel. We don’t want those Muslims who’ve invaded England traveling in our direction. No way!

Yep, there is this little thing called the Mid-Atlantic Rift.
https://www.britannica.com/place/Mid-Atlantic-Ridge
Thermal vents, upwelling magma, and the Atlantic Basin is widening at an estimated rate of 1 to 10 cm (0.5 to 4 inches) a year.
So, is this tunnel going to be stretchy?

My first thought was that this tunnel would collapse upon the first earthquake. It’s also very unnecessary because cargo is more efficiently shipped on a cargo ship, which can take tens of thousands or C-cans at once and flight is the most efficient way to travel the globe for a passenger.
It’s just a tunnel to nowhere.

Besides, why would anyone want to go to Londonistan (or is it now Londongrad, under Comrade Starmer)?

Giant boondoggle. As someone mentioned plate tectonics not to mention structure designed to resist pressure of tons per sq inch but the biggest question is WHY? It has to be the least cost effective project known to man and the most costly. You could build a lot of cargo ships and planes for that ridiculous sum. This crap doesn’t deserve any consideration but does deserve mockery - that having been said there are probably some government apparatchiks that are going to try to divert taxpayer funds to this idiotic idea
