Now a question for Sir Humphrey, but 1st, a recap to lead into that question..... The Minister is currently on vacation so will reply upon his return during February. ____________ The Kite Fliers -------------------- Kite fliers: An imaginary club of solo members, those who don't yet belong to a formal team so "fly their own kites" - as the saying goes. | |

Now a question for Sir Humphrey, but 1st, a recap to lead into that question..... He'd better extend his vacation then as there are many more questions to answer. West Coast Fiasco caused by "Major Failures" The Answer according to the Gospel of Parliament: - "The fiasco over the collapse of the West Coast Main Line franchise deal was the result of "irresponsible decisions", an MPs' committee has said. The transport committee blamed "major failures" at the Department for Transport (DfT) and the civil service." "Embarking on an ambitious - perhaps unachievable - reform of franchising, in haste, on the UK's most complex piece of railway, was an irresponsible decision for which ministers were ultimately responsible. "This was compounded by major failures by civil servants, some of whom misled ministers." In the report, Ms Ellman said: "Many of the problems with the franchise competition, detailed in the Laidlaw report, reflect very badly on civil servants at the DfT. "However, ministers approved a complex - perhaps unworkable - franchising policy at the same time as overseeing major cuts to the department's resources. This was a recipe for failure which the DfT must learn from urgently." ____________ | |

West Coast Fiasco caused by "Major Failures" I'm not so sure that the Minister, wisely, would wish to answer questions regarding rail franchising. This would be outside his field of expertise. Brussels is currently construction legislation to force all ECM countries to privatise all their railways....will we see more fiascos to come in the near future? ____________ The Kite Fliers -------------------- Kite fliers: An imaginary club of solo members, those who don't yet belong to a formal team so "fly their own kites" - as the saying goes. | |

Providing he lets off a few well deserved expletives directed at Brussels whilst over there then he's going to be worth the salary just for that!! ____________ The Kite Fliers -------------------- Kite fliers: An imaginary club of solo members, those who don't yet belong to a formal team so "fly their own kites" - as the saying goes. | |

It was an all round embarrassment. Mitchell screwed up, the police screwed up, Downing Street screwed up. But, apparently apart from this fiasco, he was quite good at his job. But he could have caused trouble, he had to be bought off to be got rid of. That is the popular view. He'd better extend his vacation then as there are many more questions to answer. Good advice, I should have listened to it! | |

Out of the mouth of babes..... There all the same, "After the horse has bolted", they do this all the time and will carry on doing so. There all the same, yesterdays people who can never see no further than today; hence always surprised by what tomorrow brings. ____________ The Kite Fliers -------------------- Kite fliers: An imaginary club of solo members, those who don't yet belong to a formal team so "fly their own kites" - as the saying goes. | |

Well we know what tomorrow's bringing..... Most probably is a practice on the real thing. If we leave the ECM the Brussels Commies will send over the French to invade us, and guess where? yes, you've got it, at " Gosport". I expect we will be waiting though. There'll always be an England.....Scotland, Ireland & Wales of course, not so sure though about France, Germany etc. ____________ The Kite Fliers -------------------- Kite fliers: An imaginary club of solo members, those who don't yet belong to a formal team so "fly their own kites" - as the saying goes. | |

There are those here who dislike my posting style, especially when it comes to "knocking" their country...... How soon we forget. Those people doing the cheering and giving the discounts are the very ones that were spat upon and called baby killers when they came home from serving in Vietnam. They refuse to allow that to happen to another generation. ____________ | |
