UKIP has historically positioned itself against HS2, citing it as a waste of taxpayer money and an environmental concern. They have consistently argued that the funds allocated for HS2 could be better spent on other public services or infrastructure projects.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and extend it to Scotland

Given UKIP's opposition to HS2 in its current form, extending the project to Scotland would only amplify their concerns regarding cost, environmental impact, and the project's overall necessity. UKIP would likely view such an extension as exacerbating the issues they identify with HS2.
