It received 4 times less state funding than the private companies do now.
It provided a lot less too... I'm not sure that argument works as well if you're looking at it on a per passenger basis though.

Thats true, but the question remains, should the railways receive state funding at all.
It is something we will probably disagree on, however, I think we would both agree that the current system whereby profits go to foreign companies and or foreigner governments is bad for the UK.
Basing you opinion of her on Wikipedia and one bad interview is daft.
How long will it take me to find a car crash interview with a Lib Dem or Tory?

Pretty irrelevant really. She comes across like an idiot in multiple interviews. If she can't handle the pressure then she shouldn't be an MP.
Interesting that the question of if rail should receive state funding is rearing its head, as if roads and infrastructure just magic themselves into being and\or if capitalism has great mechanisms to deal with either pollution or infrastructural requirements. Those that suggests it deals with everything seem like religious Zealot's to my mind...
Two bad interviews actually...
Motorists pay approx £35bn in taxes (ved, fuel taxes) each year.
The state spends approx 19bn a year on Transport.
Motorists don't just pay for the roads, but the rail subsidies and plenty more beside already.
Has her May done an interview yet?
Im not sure why you posted that, it sure isn't proof that unregulated markets will provide in that department.
ironically the strong and stable memo wasn't strong enough to survive yodel delivery.Yup - and she's emphasised strong and stable leadership. Didn't you get the memo?

- Southampton, hopefully not too hot, or too cold
Yet the roads around Southampton are becoming increasingly worse and even dangerous, just from a tarmac surface perspective, before we even talk about some of the other users.
On a road bike with narrow tyres of ~25-32mm wide, you typically need to focus on the tarmac you are about the ride over to avoid the potholes, rather than further down the road at what other users are doing.

She usually comes across well on Question Time.

she can't even speak properly
She speaks perfectly fine, just another politician that can't/won't answer a straight question. Nothing new or surprising. Not that I agree with anything she does say mind.
