And May snookered it with the Bus Services Act 2017, brought in at the same time as triggering Article 50 - she is determined to destroy this country.

The Act was brought in under the guise of giving back control of the buses to the Council by undoing the deregulation, however it prevents the Council from running its own bus service so all routes have to be franchised out to private companies.

We have been here before, the Council puts out all the routes to tender and the bus companies refuse to bid and start making demands, effectively the bus companies run the show not the Council and it ends up back the same as deregulation except the Council can't compete against the bus companies.


There's a real danger that the left will drag Britain back to the 1970s, with secure well-paid jobs, ample housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition, student grants, final salary pensions, affordable rail fares and fabulous films and music. David Osland 2025

But the fault lies with the Government, they are taking more and more from the general public and still giving it to the rich. They are also borrowing far more money than any other UK Government and giving that money to the rich as well, then we the public are landed with that debt in addition to money being taken away from us.


Why are you suprised? We are and will always be the cash cow of their incompetence....this is why dumbed down x factor watchin obese debt ridden consumer robot britain waffles about illusion of democrisy ....ha what a joke....red blue doesnt matter who you vote for ......the public provide the chips in the taxpayer casino and labour or con scumbags play at will....
