What is it with this government? We have the most expensive railway in
Europe and now they plan to close more railways pushing more people
onto the roads:

Yes, just remind me, this would be the wind farm(s) covering 104 square
miles, containing 441 wind "turbines" and costing £2bn. That is, the same
cost that Toshiba is currently charging the Chinese government for the
installation of four nuclear reactors with a combined capacity of 4400MW.
The wind farm(s) planned for the Thames estuary will have an installed
capacity of around 330MW by 2008, with a target of 1000MW "eventually".
And the scheme hopes to supply a whole 1%% of London's electricity needs. So
to supply all London's electricity this way would need a mere 44,100 wind
"turbines" covering 10,400 square miles and costing £200bn.
Time for FoE to stop pissing about and support the nuclear option.

The logic behind the governments thinking is impeccable (In theory).
Let’s say that you have a route from A to B that is served by road
(Buses and car) and rail and that on a given day there are 200...

It's English, or in your case, bad English.

It's Robertson, not Robinson, and my original observation about the
Tories being scum holds true.
As do my observations about British jobs being shipped abroad to people
who don't deserve them.

Rubbish. It was a dinosaur from the union-dominated loony left past
attempting to bring down an elected government by strike action. A not
too bright dinosaur at that, given the size of the stockpiles already at
the power stations when the strike started.
What those scum did is every bit as bad as the sub-human vermin who
throw bricks at train drivers, and both sort of scum belong in jail for
a very long time.

Utter nonsense - look at the cycleparks at Cambridge, Amsterdam,
Copenhagen stations, or just about anywhere in Japan - and that's not
counting the people who take their bikes on the trains.

That might or might not be true, but it didn't justify maggie having the
news doctored to show a peaceful demonstration which was baton charged
by the Filth as miners rioting and then the baton charge.
