While is it justified to pump money into the railways spending unlimited sums on airlines so someone can have a cheap weekend away is not.
As I pointed out in the VS thread Virgin only employ just over 7000 staff so a bailout could be in the region of £100,000 per employee.
Folk need to remember that bailouts will have to be paid for one day by the tax payer. Southampton will survive but people need to be realistic in their aspirations as to what the government pays for.
