My title this month is a phrase that one hears more and more these days. It usually means that you are about to hear a proposal that no sane intelligent person would make, but because some out of touch and badly informed politician thinks it is a good idea, they think it is going to happen. There are the big things, such as Sadiq Khan’s destruction of the London bus network and Transport for Greater Manchester’s franchising lunacy, and there are many smaller events.
