Give them cake to eat (French Revolution) = give them extravagant, luxury, vanity Metro to satisfy them (the multi-modal transport revolution)
22.6.2022 EMAIL FROM FORMER LIBDEM COUNCILLOR - David Sheppard:
"Tim I was hoping to meet up with you to try to listen and understand. But instead you are trying to bounce me into supporting something that I have doubts about. Firstly the track bed is required for heavy rail Goods traffic between Stour Jun and Road Oak Rail. Secondly I don’t think your description of the man made bank stands any kind of scrutiny. What is the problem of providing public transport for One of the most deprived Wards in Dudley. I’m not happy that you won’t compromise or seem to not recognise the rights of poorer people to decent exciting public transport ?" (my emphasis)
Dudley Labour Group leader, Cllr Qada Zada also wants Metro because it is a "modern form of public transport." (in answer to my question)
Well over half a billion pounds for 10.7 Kms of grossly extravagant electric "bus on rails" trams to replace diesel buses and some trains - while increasing numbers of people are having trouble paying their food and heating bills. IS THIS MORAL? Or, bizarre priorities?
