Kind of gets me that Blair is off scott free, making millions on the book and after dinner circuit after a neat hospital pass to Brown just before the world went tits up. Brown has then fumbled one crisis after another with everything from expenses to Ghurkas...although he has not had luck or timing on his side. And the knives are out as the cabinet jostles to save themselves rather than acting in the best interests of us The People. Which is what I pay the f**kers for with my 40% tax.


A change of some kind has to happen but must it be Cameron, an expert at capturing the mood in his rhetoric but with no real balls or substance behind it. And why aren't the Lib Dems stepping forward with more conviction to take advantage?


I'm so disillusioned I'm about to vote Green - not a bad vote considering.


Anyway - how long do you honestly think Brown has left? I reckon less than 4 weeks.

Judging by the locals the Tories will reap the rewards. Depressing really, consistently the libdems are the only ones who make any sense but sadly liberal is becoming a swear word so the public will get what they deserve from their lack of imagination. Ten years down the line when a tory gov't is in disgrace they'll ....... Vote labour.


Pathetic.


And I'm rathe rod the opinion that brown too got what he deserves. He played the political game to get what he wanted, and agree with earlier poster saying he would put his ego ahead the good of the country or he'd do the decent thing and let the country decide, I gather we live in a democracy apparently.

Mr Ben, I've just voted Green. I'm not a usual Green voter, and I'm always torn between 'Greens are a cult' (the opinion of some) vs. 'Greens have some really good policies that have been adopted by mainstream parties' (which is true). It's a perfectly valid option in these times, as is LibDem. Anything but the two main parties.


Really, we need to change the model. Consitutional reform. And the big two will not do that.

    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
