Seems like over 5 billion people watched the Queen's funeral whilst it was happening, making it the most watched event in human history. Because everyone watched it simultaneously it is also the first time a majority of the world's population had a single shared experience. 🌍

“Public control” is a meaningless phrase which means whatever Andy wants it to mean. The bus operators are still private & buses have always been regulated by local/national govts . I suspect the phrase was just chosen to make it sound like he’s nationalising them when he isn’t.
