    the punishment should be a week in the stockade in the town square where people pelt you with rotten fruit, but this is a good start

    Good news if it was actually enforced. I vote that bus drivers use the tannoys to say, “Hey, who’s that plonker on the upper deck playing AI slop? Turn it off, you muppet!” I don’t know what they should do when they get inevitably ignored.

    (It’s nearly always AI slop revenge stories or bhangra (might not be bhangra exactly, I’m Indian but I don’t actually know the different genres. Desi stuff anyway.))

      There shouldn’t be a ticket. It should be that the bus doesn’t move until the sound is turned off. It will sort itself out.

        No, it won’t. I’ve been on buses and trains where this has happened. “We will not be moving until the freeloaders depart or the British Transport Police arrive.” Well, the people who don’t care they’re pissing off everyone around them already won’t care if it’s being pointed out, meanwhile all of the paying customers are being delayed, being made late for work, being made to miss the connections.

    The right sentiment but without enough inspectors and transport police to enforce it it’s practically meaningless.

    Wow. Sounds like Burnham is already running out of ideas.

    When they can’t fix the big problems, they focus on the small ones.

      Ah yes, fix 14 years of Tory and EU austerity in 2 years… totally doable

        Don’t you know.

        The plan was Utopia.

        And the timeframe was immediately.

        EU austerity

        Ah yes the EU, famously able to convince the UK to adopt the union’s monetary system.

        Brits still delusionally blaming Europe for their own mistakes.

      EU and social care not big enough for you?

        And electoral reform, and ending rough sleeping. What a lazy start.
