"LONDON TORIES DON'T HUG A HOODIE, THEY SHOVE THEM OFF THE BUS" - POPE10.18.36am GMT Tue 12th Dec 2006 Commenting on press reports today that the London Assembly Tory party are proposing to scrap the free under-16 travel passes, Liberal Democrat Transport Spokesman on the London Assembly, Geoff Pope, said: "The Tories' attack on free travel for London's children shows just how anti-youth they really are. Far from 'hugging a hoodie', the London Tories would rather shove them off the bus. 'Unfortunately not all children are privileged enough to be driven to school in luxury 4x4s. This news will not be well received by hard-working families 'David Cameron has gone to desperate lengths to try to revamp his party. Sadly today's announcement shows just how out of touch the grass root Tories really are." ENDS
