I'm not entirely sure that this is really what he is doing though. I think that what he is trying to change is precisely the funding mechanism and not the cost management or work efficiency. What he wants is for someone else (not least you and I through our taxes) to pay for the expansion that he has been (very rightly) saying is absolutely necessary to the London and British economies!
