Oystercards Ripoff

Tube Profits up. Tube Standards down. PFI shit. Oystercards ( spyware ) actually can cost more than using travel cards as journeys aren't capped. On top of which being screwed over to back the Olympic Propaganda bid to the tune of millions - corporate London shows how to fuck us all over. More money in the pockets of big business and politico friends ( fuck you GLA, fuck you Livingstone, Norris, Jarvis et al. )
"In 1998, Transport for London (TfL) appointed a consortium, TranSys, to deliver the new smartcard system.
TranSys brings together four of the world's leading companies in the transport and technology sectors - Electronic Data System Ltd (EDS), Cubic Corporation, Fujitsu and WS Atkins.
Cubic Corporation's expected revenue *alone* is estimated to be worth approximately $700 million over 17 years. " from alt Oystercard site.
Notice the same names coming up again and again - corporations who rip us for billions like Fujitsu a PFI fave.( their software is FUCKED-unfit dfor purpose!).... The list is endless, seriously endless of how much we are being ripped by MPs, property developers, supermarkets, corporations etc. Check Corporate Watch, Private Eye, etc. etc.
Well you know what to do don't you if you give a shit.....Me I'm off to ***b the f***
*** ** ************* and the ******** for starters..(sorry FIT this is censored)

I hate to think our money is already going towards the olympics as from what I have heard from the Greeks, it cost each person living in Greece £200 plus £400 which most Greeks don't know about in hidden taxes.
Ken I got money please feel free to mug me.
with you
