Nope

Nope they are massively unreliable and Network Rail does good work.

So you're now claiming that the nationalized infrastructure under Network Rail is 'good' as opposed to 'failing' as you claimed on page 210?

What I find most disturbing about the whole way things have gone over the past few years is the way people's views seem to have polarized and taken ideologies as though they were articles of faith. The idea that to admit that an ideology or party could be wrong apparently threatens their entire idea of self.
It might even lead to them not believing in a political ideology...

Agreed. I think a fair part of it is people supporting individuals instead of policies. Once you say, ‘I support Smith’ it makes it harder for you to reject Smith when he embraces a policy you disagree with.

Make your mind up love. Sigh. There is no contradiction Network Rail does a good job . It's the fact the private sector screw ups keep undermining them . God only knows how they would botch it up . So my mind is clearly made up .

So you're a believer, and you get riled when others don't share your beliefs. Not exactly something we haven't encountered before. It's not like you can choose whether or not to believe.

Trump supporter gets in touch with facts and she doesn't like it
Video
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Trump tweeted the following:
Quote:'Congratulations to the Kansas City Chiefs on a great game, and a fantastic comeback, under immense pressure. You represented the Great State of Kansas and, in fact, the entire USA, so very well. Our Country is PROUD OF YOU!'
The Chiefs play in Missouri, not Kansas. This is just as stupid as when Tony Blair listed County Cork as part of Northern Ireland.
