With the e-petition for the West Coast Train line petition now standing at 164,000 with no result, the public must be getting fed up, deeply frustrated and fiercely cynical.
100,000 was supposed to trigger off a debate in Parliament, but of course there is no Parliament - they are on holiday.
Tim Farron makes out he can do nothing other than point out that the public isn't happy.
This, on top of the student fees debacle, could be the nail in the coffin for Tim Farron's career. He appears to believe that he can survive while sitting on the fence - no chance. This is an instance where the government have definitely got it wrong.
I'm finding that many of my calm rational friends are convinced that there is something crooked going on in the offices of the Department of Transport.
They see Richard Bransom as a good guy with the interests of the public at heart. We know that both the public and the people who work for him are behind the excellent service that has been provided on the West Coast Line.
We are now asking ourselves what do we have to do next for common sense to survive.
We are extremely angry. Some way out action is called for. What. All it needs is for someone to suggest something

Fiercely cynical? I should say so. No government, of whatever persiuasion, EVER actually listens to its electorate. My experience is that the majority of people (in my circle anyway) actively want an immediate end to immigration, abolition of Human Rights Act which compels us to mollycoddle and even pay terrorists and foreign criminals, want restoration of capital punishment,want out of the disastrous EU, have no time for the multiculture and diversity industry etc etc. We speak and are completely ignored by successive spineless, self serving governments. We are truly ruled by an elected dictatorship. I have no time whatsoever for them.
One more important aspect is that if you are an older person, travel insurance with regard to pensioners is something you should really take into account. The older you are, the greater at risk you might be for permitting something bad happen to you while in another country. If you are not covered by quite a few comprehensive insurance plan, you could have several serious troubles.
