It's not just that he's a homophobic bigot. He's the king dick of Stagecoach.

They made their money in the early days of deregulated buses by coming into town, running loads of cheap buses till the competition goes out of business, then cutting services and hiking prices.

The Monopolies and Mergers Commission said Stagecoach's strategy was "predatory, deplorable and against the public interest".

Stagecoach also gave a £100,000 a year 'part time directorship' to Stephen Dorrell. Dorrell was the architect of railway privatisation, and coincidentally Stagecoach were given the South West trains franchise despite being utterly shit.

South West Trains proved their abilities when they cut back on costs by sacking loads of train drivers, then had to cancel services because - guess what - there weren't enough drivers.

They're running (Stagecoach) a tv recruitment campaign just now, with the phrase 'an equal opportunities company' emblazened across the screen. Really? As if it's legal not to be (exceptions do occur obviously)! Everyone's been reminded of what a nasty little snivelling (fundamentalist christian BTW) shit Souter is because of this scummy SNP lot and that slogan just smacks of a panicky 'we even let gays in', although we know he'd rather they didn't. No one donates to a party (half a bloody million!) without asking for something in return, so hopefully the whole seedy shebang spells the end for each of them. Just plain rotten.
