| Welcome to the Ealing Today Interweb Mr Pound - I think it's your first time posting on here..? I agree with the sentiments in your posting but I would simply ask - what is your solution to the funding problem? The TFL budget will not cover completion of the works owing to falling fare revenue and the cost of resolving the PFI fiasco that a certain G.Brown foisted on the previous Mayor. The current Mayor is quite rightly trying to live within the means available - a concept that your own colleagues on the Labour front bench appear to have only grasped in the last month or two. The underlying problem here is that the public sector has for too long been spending far more than the country could afford. The borrowing had already spun out of control even before the banks started to fail so right now, our only choices are difficult choices given that private enterprise is in retreat with the inevitable consequence of declining corporation tax payments. |
