BORIS Johnson’s hike in bus and tube rises are a disgrace.

And to top it all off we will see a reduced service to parts of our borough. For those too young to remember the Tories in power or those with short memories let this serve as a warning.

Those on low incomes will get hit most in the pocket and services will be slashed. Boris may seem quite affable but last week’s ‘tough medicine’ showed Boris up for who he is – a Bullingdon boy millionaire whose constant gaffes are going to hit me in the wallet. Families are struggling to make ends meet and now we get this kick in the teeth.

Meanwhile, bankers who got bailed out by the taxpayer are back on track with massive bonuses. But fairness has never been part of a Tory agenda.

It’s their ‘I’m alright Jack’ approach which led to a breakdown in our communities across the country in the 1980s.
