    Hilarious to hear the rail operators' stooge, their spin doctor Robert Nisbet, a former BBC stooge, being interviewed by another BBC stooge on Radio 4 Today this morning. He is an expert with the spin. Rail fares have risen by 47% over the past decade.

    Later on he popped up on Sky News from London Bridge station, the glossy new station on the network. The station was part of a £1billion development.

    'In April 2018 Nisbet joined the Rail Delivery Group (RDG) "a membership body in the British railway system, bringing together the companies that run Britain’s railway into a single team with one goal - to deliver a better railway for Britain, its businesses and communities" as Regional Director on the Executive Committee, where his previous journalistic experience has led him to fulfill the post of broadcast spokesman.'

    That was then. His job title is now described on the RDG website as Director-Nations and Regions! Wow! Not the Fat Controller. He is quite diminuitive.
