Heard this on the 7 o'clock news this morning. All over 60s and disability travel on National Express coaches will no longer be subsidised by the government. The cost is mere £17 million - they could raise that by stopping all MP's expenses surely ?

I am 'entitled' to free bus travel and feel that it is a burden on the youngsters, those that are working that is, so do not take advantage of the concession.
I would suggest that all subsidies, including state benefits, should be stopped for all age groups which would leave money to fight other peoples wars. Make sense to you?
