ScotGov had to fight to get the ability to make a public body bid for ScotRail and didn't get it until last year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmothecat2 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 This is a bit 'Ukippy', right? Weird way to make a point, anyway. Considering its from Momentum I'm slightly surprised they didn't just call the SNP 'centrist b*****ds' like they do with everyone else they disagree with (except this time they'd have a point). Speaking of which I see Jezza is going a five day tour of Scotland. I'll be handing out the words to the Red Flag so nobody gets embarrassed when they forget how the second verse goes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiG Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I see that Owen Jones has retweeted that video then, without even a shred of guilt, started banging on about this new CCTV footage of Corbyn on the Virgin train and saying how Branson and Virgin were spreading lies. He's a jumped up hypocrite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jmothecat2 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 And in other Twitter news I see the UK's second favourite racist is moaning about having to wait a while for his passport to be checked. Isn't that terrible? An honest citizen who has only ever once been convicted of using a fake passport having to wait a couple of minutes for his passport to be checked at passport control where people's job is to check passports. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Wales doesn't have autonomy in the same way as Scotland, does it? Could Welsh Labour and/or the SNP nationalise trains under their jurisdiction? Might be more difficult for Wales as even many Wales to Wales trains go in and out of England. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 This is the most recent info I could find and suggests that the Welsh have no real say over their own trains. So they could talk about renationalising them, but it wouldn't do much good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
