London: snout in the trough again.

TFL has forty million pounds locked into a recently collapsed Iceland Bank.

Commenting on the announcement that Transport for London had around £40 million invested in the failed Icelandic bank Kaupthing Singer & Friedlander Caroline Pidgeon AM, the Liberal Democrat's transport spokesperson at the London Assembly, says: "It's up to the government to step in to ensure London's travelling public doesn't have to pick up the bill."

So who does pick up the bill? All taxpayers, even if they never set foot in London?

Bill it to the Scots. They get a really good deal and should give something back !!

Mr Troll, if you're referring to the Barnett Formula, that is a way for several parts of the UK, including Scotland, to get an allocation of funds to match part of the funds being allocated to other parts including London.

So they don't get "a good deal" (they get exploited) and have nothing to "give back" (but rather ought to give less).

The English duffed up the Scots in the 17th and 18th centuries, so it's only fair that they should cough up in times of need.

While we're at it we should go get some dosh off those German folk too. And the Spanish.

And then go invade France and pinch all their cheese.

I really should run for office....I think I've got it all sorted
