Now we may observe an enormous public sector folly in real time. Only
a public body could be this stupid. Pity the poor tourist arriving in
London in need of guidance on using TfL services.

To be fair the blame can be squarely laid at the door of the blonde buffoon.
TfL simply have to do as their told. God help us if Boris ever becomes PM,
it'll be a ****ing disaster (and I speak as a Tory voter) not least because
the man is bone idle and is more interested in promoting himself than doing
what he's paid to do.

The grant from central government to the GLA for transport has been
significantly cut back.

Which was not a goog thing. Although There is almost certainly fat to
be trimmed at TfL in the mamgement rank.

The previous government also reduced policemen's benefits, a very bad
move indeed. One hopes that one day we will have a real, grassroots,
working man's conservative movement in the UK.
