This year, 2008, sees the seventieth anniversary of 4468€™s (Mallard)record breaking run and it is interesting to note that some of today€™s express trains are taking longer than the A4€™s to travel the Kings Cross Newcastle route.

And another thing. Wanting to be Prime Minister should be the main factor that precludes you from being so. This approach would have ruled out Blair, and many other over ambitious idiots. I think that we should think about a “dictator” model, but one where nobody can run for it.

So… if someone demonstrates a certain running-the-country-type ability and “the people” decide they have what it takes, then, like “a curse” they get made boss (for 2 years).

Branson would get “cursed”, as would perhaps Jamie Oliver and Rooney.

It might not be an ideal way to choose a leader, but think about it… It wouldn’t be worse than what we have.

Say it brother…

And then let’s nationalize Tesco. (I’m not kidding by the way)

“I bloody hate the way the rail service is now split up”

Never mind Northern Rock, lets re-nationalise the railways only this time do it properly with democratic workers and passengers control, (ownership and management) and no compensation for shareholders except in cases of proven need.

Tickets will be valid on all trains (because they’re all red) with prices set as low as possible while reflecting the true environmental cost of each journey.
