While I agree that the train companies charge far too much
dodging fares isn't the way to go about changing things.

Meanwhile everyone else has to pick up the tab for you. I once heard that if everyone paid the tax they should rather than some people dodging it then income tax would be about half what it is now.
I imagine that the same is true of train fares.

in a perfect world income tax would be halved
But in reality, if everyone paid what the should I don't see the government or large corporations paying us all an "honesty dividend".

Petrol would still cost £1.30 a litre (and rising), home and contents insurance would not go down, train fares would still go up. It would just result in larger profit margins in the private sector. As for the public sector, that really boils my piss. There would always be some senior cunt nugget giving the go ahead to another millennium dome, ID card scheme or just half a million quid worth of shiny stonework to tart up a small piece of the local high street while the natives watch double deckers disappear into the smaller potles. My local authority are making all sorts of cuts at the moment. I whole heartedly agree that efficiencies should be made. but not when the same cash strapped hand spunks 200 grand supporting "15 elite netball athletes" www.eveningtimes.co.uk/mobile/news/195k-bid-to-win-netball-medals-1.1083751

Yes and living in cheaper countries than the UK would cause bedlam.
