He repeated Vince Cable's effective line about privatising profit and nationalising debt, without a coherent vision of rail transport. His rejection of nationalisation left the impression that he is a fundamental free marketeer who would see a public service go bankrupt and collapse. It was let to Hitchins of all people to defend the old BR. Everyone knows that there are many aspects of rail transport that are much worse than before, largely the result of a disintegrated system.

We all sit at home complaining that we have crap government forever more? Go I hate Peter Hitchen

David Laws was first elected as MP for Yeovil in 2001, not 1997, succeeeding Jeremy John Durham Ashdown. Well the QT website is wrong then.
