Skye Bridge Lib

Lib may stand for liberation or liberals, and both fit when the news is the buy-back of the Skye Bridge - and the removal of the GBP 5.70 toll - as a result of Liberal Democrat pressure on the Scottish Labour government. A victory of sorts.

The history of the Skye Bridge demonstrates that PFI (private finance initiatives) don’t work when they impose an unpopular burden on local people.
