We Own It @weownit.org.uk · 09/10/2026

Buses are the most-used form of public transport in England. They were deregulated under Thatcher in 1986, & we've been paying the price ever since., Bus fares have risen over 500% since 1987. Since 2009-10 we've lost 3,300 routes. We need more than public control of buses, we need ownership.

Graphic that highlights four models of bus ownership in the UK from full privatisation to the Manchester model where buses are privately owned but the market is regulated, to the Reading model where the buses are publicly owned but the market is deregulated, and lastly to We Own It's proposed model where the buses are publicly owned and the market is regulated

Met the Birnam Oak, the last of Birnam Wood. This tree is thought to have been already well established in the time of Shakespeare. (Dunsinane still some miles off).

Ninety years ago today, Oswald Mosley tried to march his Blackshirts through the Jewish East End. 🧵 He had thousands of uniformed fascists behind him and 6,000 police clearing the way. But the people of the East End got there first.

Watching the N Ireland [NI] Unionist Drumcree-Garvaghy Rd march imbroglio is devastating. It has long been a flashpoint in the Troubles [NI] & associated with Unionist triumphalism as they march thru a Nationalist minority area, they are not wanted in. As a result the march was banned since 1998
