I'm Nationalisin' It

Ever got on a train and thought; "well this is shit"? Or that it's too expensive, or not on time, or just generally poor? I'm sure you're not the only one. The reason is quite simple really, there's no reason for a company to give you better service. The bare minimum creates the biggest profit margin so why bother improving service? Wait a second, surely the whole principle of the free market ensures that there'll be competition and that would bring about a better service? Well that only works if there's competition for the same service which unless some bright spark builds a track along side the existing one, isn't going to happen.

So you might ask, why keep this system that is obviously not beneficial to anyone? Well if you're even asking that frankly stupid question you're forgetting the point of New Labour! Remember that prefix which pissed the morals of a formally decent political party right into Murdoch's mouth (he likes that sort of thing you know), that simple word that means a war criminal is now in-line to becoming the first EU President or maybe even those three letters that did nothing to help the common man beyond give them a minimum wage (which is still just under £300 less a month than Luxembourg)? The point of New Labour isn't as that very nice murderer Mr Anthony Blair told you in 1997 which was that those 'evil Conservatives, who are evil, even though we like a lot of their policies, are no good, even though we're not going to change a thing, and stupid and are all smelly and old, so ner' (I'd just like to point out that's not a direct quote but I'm sure he said similar). New Labour's ideas are all about fucking you and not in a good way that normal people might enjoy, but in that kind of awkward way that most people I think nowadays call rape.

New Labour is essentially rape then and the trains are perfect example of this. Lets be honest, Neo-Liberalism doesn't work anyway but in the places where it's meant to work, there needs to be potential for competition which there just simply isn't in the British railway system. Sarcasm aside, why the fuck aren't our trains a national institution? But why stop there? Surely all Public Transport should be just that, public? It would solve so many problems and actually bring about positive change in this country rather than just the same old shit again and again.

Anyway, I'm going to stop before I actually become sensible, that can wait for tomorrow.
