    “A proper Government would run things properly”

    See, there’s the problem.

    My heart is with you Sneckie min but I’m afraid my head isn’t.

    That's like saying Mussolini made the trains run on time. Which he didn't really.

    Like Norway, for instance?

    I don't think anyone would realistically describe Khan as a "socialist " would they?
    Has he been espousing shared common ownership of the means of production?

    Mebbes if he duid we'd end up with more fair and equitable taxation and proper funding for public transport.
    I'm assuming TFL is funded by Central government?

    Does that mean you stop aspiring to it and accept the current mess?

    I think a wee country of five million people with self determination could learn a lot from various of the Scandinavian countries.

    I've never relied on public transport in Norway but I'm lead to believe it's good, at least in the urban areas.

    I was really meaning their sovereign wealth fund.
    They made sure their citizens benefit from their natural resources.

    Yip

    As far as I can see, there are successful capitalists and crap capitalists.

    Greed runs through the entire population.
