moderation has been slacking off lately.
The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

I'd like to see things like power, water and gas nationalised, perhaps alongside the rail network. I would also be for significantly larger investment within the rail network, if only to take the strain of the nation's roads by reducing the amount of heavy goods vehicles on them.

Oh, and probably something like driving licenses for cyclists. Too many of them seem to be either entirely ignorant of the rules of the road, assume it doesn't apply to them or cherry-pick the bits they like.

Both cyclists and drivers need teaching how to act around the other. I'm a perfectly respectable cyclist who only occasionally forgets to indicate because I'm tired or distracted by some thundercunt tailgating me. That said, it is true that a lot of cyclists are also thundercunts.

My main issue is that - as a pedestrian - I'm regularly having to dodge cyclists on the pavement or those who seem to feel that the red light at a pelican crossing isn't meant for them. It's worse in Oxford, when I'm having to commute to my company's home office. The amount of times I've had a cyclist go across the crossing in front of me when I'm trying to cross is phenomenal. They just don't give a fuck, and if they hit me, they'll have probably broken a few of my ribs and at least one limb.

And when they're around vehicles, they seemingly use their vulnerability when compared to cars to bully other road users out of the way.

If there was a more concerted effort to make cyclists obey the rules of the road, then I would have no problem. As it is - and as a non-driver - they are perhaps the most obvious rule-breaker to me.
DesAnges wrote:And it's funny you should say that about the railways - the Government is trying to find buyers for the East Coast tail line, which I believe is the only remaining nationalised rail line. It made consecutive losses before the Government bought it, since when it hasn't made a loss at all and made a £209m profit last year.

That's a bloody shame, but then that's what the Tories do. Undoubtedly, they'll find another rich chum, flog it at a massively cut-down price and watch as it gets fucked up.

Then say that this was because it had been publicly-owned for a while, and give the green light for another hike in fare costs.
