LS, you really have got the wrong impression of me and I hope that Dave and Peter will back that up. I don't despise low income families. My family are all from working class and I'm proud of it. They've worked hard all their lives and they've prospered. My Dad went from maintainance man at his firm to a senior project manager; my mum has gone from ambulance driver to Deputy Head of a very good school. Alot of the time my Nan and Grandad didn't have enough money to put food on the table and went without so don't try and second guess me pal!!!
As for taxing motorists to provide better busses. Is that bus going to get me to Bristol at 7am when I have a meeting... no, is it going to get me to Birmingham when I have a meeting .. no. If I work late and leave the office at 8.30pm am I going to be back in time to watch The Apprentice.... no!! When it's pi**ing down with rain and I'm wearing a suit is this magical bus going to pick me up from my door step... no!
You are a prime example of what Labour has become!
