Labours good intentions going awry.

clipped from www.dailymail.co.uk Pensioners left stranded as new law means free bus pass could no longer be valid Senior citizens have been accused of free-loading by 'misusing' the services intended for local trips to go on holiday and regular outings to the seaside, with queues of pensioners forming on popular routes.

I was informed that pensioners could not use their passes on National Express routes that were over 50 miles???
The confusion is not of the pensioner’s doing. It is another example of a government not thinking through or even debating fully what a great idea for the aged and disabled it is.
One of the most asked questions is - do I go to Fleetwood on the tram? I either reply, have you been on a tram? Or, have you ever pushed someone in a wheel-chair?
It is then that you are confirmed that you are talking to an idiot.
