Another Rail Fiasco ...

... following on from my slagging of of Theresa Villiers last night after her "comments" regarding the ridiculous inflation-busting train fare increases ... today we see First Group taking over from Virgin on the West Coast Main Line franchise - because they bid more money !

Now I've been a firm believer in re-nationalisation of this country's rail network (John Major - another tosser - thank you so much for all your hard work in the mid-90's).  However - since the privatisation, only one franchisee has actually stood out; and that's Virgin.  Branson has promised so much - but unlike others he's actually DELIVERED.  Here's a guy who actually offered to run the National Lottery on a "not-for-profit" basis ... but no - it was given to Camelot who are no doubt taking a tidy slice for their bloody shareholders.  I've no doubt that governments both past and present, Labour and ConDem are scared of Mr Branson - because he shows them up to be the lying shysters that they really are ...

Two political rants in two days - obviously not enough footy around ...

(Nice goal from Jagielka mind ... OK I'm sat in front of telly (with volume at 0 !) whilst 'laptopping' )
