Bus Regulation and Bus Wars

In 2010 the Labour Party ridiculed me because I asked a question about bus regulation in Prime Ministers Question Time.

Buses are an important way of getting around the city that are often ignored by middle class people who call themselves socialists.

The issue of bus regulation which is basically that the London system allows sector tendering, but other cities are not allowed this, is behind why this often goes wrong.

In the past we have had serious problems with bus wars and that can be very dangerous although I think that is mainly under control at the moment.

If I am re-elected I will continue to campaign for the West Midlands to be allowed to use sector tendering.

Why should London be allowed to do this and not the West Midlands?

Here is an example photo from bus wars in the past

Its the long genes that stop working

People who read my blog will be aware that I have for some time argued that most (if not all) diseases of aging are caused by cells not being able to produce enough of the right proteins. What happens is that certain genes stop functioning because of a metabolic imbalance. I was, however, mystified as to why it was always particular genes that stopped working. Recently, however, there have been three papers produced: Aging is associated with a systemic length-associated transcriptome imbalance Age- or lifestyle-induced accumulation of genotoxicity is associated with a generalized shutdown of long gene transcription and Gene Size Matters: An Analysis of Gene Length in the Human Genome From these it is obvious to see that the genes that stop working are the longer ones. To me it is therefore obvious that if there is a shortage of nuclear Acetyl-CoA then it would mean that the probability of longer Genes being transcribed would be reduced to a greater extent than shorter ones.
