Default Radio 4 - the derailing of transport 2010


All about why Mr Prescott's 10 year transport plan didn't happen.
Might be worth a listen.


It was a Labour government silly.

The very last thing ‘we always know best’ socialists will ever do is
listen to the market, listen to the people that got them elected.

They would much rather fly off on tangents on big blues skies
projects, dreamed up by a centralised bureaucracy, planners and bogus
academics, the sort Labour always has wet their knickers over in
admiration.

They spend millions coming up with something that’s going to cost
billions and eventually the rest of the Government takes one look at
it and realises there are no votes in it and worse, more often than
not, plenty of lost votes in it so then nothing happens because
they’ve got nothing to put in its place.
