For all those claiming cycle superhighways cause pollution, here are the facts (from official @LondonAir website via @AsEasyAsRiding)

The government's worrying plans for counter-extremism - including counting "claims of 'two-tier' policing" as "extreme right wing" - have been leaked to Policy Exchange. Our report is causing a stir this morning. Read it here:

@georgebernhard But ticket offices don't cause train cancellations, do they? I'm talking about practices like Sunday working being optional - which, this summer, led to entire towns losing their rail service when there was a big football match on a Sunday.

@georgebernhard It's a statement that the rail unions are powerful - which is factually correct, and something I imagine you support! And massive numbers of cancellations are indeed caused by industrial action, or by the bonkers working practices the unions have successfully defended.

@georgebernhard No. What's propagandistic about that?

@georgebernhard Again, I admire your ability to discern that it's reheated propaganda without actually reading it. Perhaps you have seen no evidence that the unions are a problem because - as here - you refuse to look at it.

@georgebernhard You know it's substandard without reading it?

@georgebernhard I think you should read the piece - which explains why nationalisation will almost certainly cost more (since the unions will want to level up the current 15 or so pay deals to the most generous.)
