Default Guardian: Boris Johnson's TfL is pushing London Underground PPPdown the tubes

The Tories are in an intersting position, having to oppose PPP because
everyone thinks it's crap and they didn't set it up, but probably
secretly thinking it didn't go far enough and wishing they'd thought
of it long before.


I've long wanted to find it again, but I remember reading a quote from a
Tory candidate in Hackney or similar saying basically that - private
sector involvement in the Tube is a great idea, trust the socialists to
mess it up. Which isn't necessarily the view on the street.
