Rejected petition Nationalise our Railways

More details

I hereby sign a petition to nationalise our railway system.

It can not make any possible sense to the British public to allow profit to be made from an essential public service.

The government can not complain that the railway system costs the taxpayer too much money (40% of the total cost), when in fact that means we are paying for somebody's profit.
