Here's the solution for you (for me) - reduce taxation on car drivers - it should not be in total more than the cost of maintaining and running the road network
Put the difference on general taxation
the companies that RUN the train don't OWN them. They're owned by rolling stock companies who then lease the trains to the train operating company.
My issue with it -mostly- goes away at that point
@faultfiction right, who is talking about that here
no one here is talking about that

The issue for me isn't that rail is subsidised, per se, but the cost of that subsidy is being put on people who can't use it, and can least afford it
Same principle should apply to alcohol and cigarette taxes
Most scottish trains are dire as it is
welsh trains are too
suck ass
Increased ticket prices too
my council tax went up 200 this year
bigger annoyance
The inter-National trains are okay
And the ones that go to the highlands
1800 for bins
seems a bit much
Everything else is shit tier
@TheCaledonian sort out the snp then
Labour voters tactically vote for SNP to keep the Tories out lmao
At least where I live
All the parties are cancerous atm
The only big difference with the SNP is "Muh Westminster" and "muh independence"
lol, 1800 for bins
you're not just paying for bins
you're paying for police to victimise political opponents, and arrest people for having opinions on twitter
you're also paying for unending public sector bullshit
But mostly, you're paying for the failure of governments of the last 30 years to move social care into the NHS
During a potential lockdown, the police will still be out in full force over someone saying niggre on twitter
of course
i heard theyre on about suspending council tax
and utility bills as well
France is now a libertarian utopia in that aspect
fucking neoliberals - always suggesting freebies for businesses, but fuck the people
YouTube just nuke sargons stream?

Nope ?
