Nationalised rail service - will the government introduce new rail cards for 30 year olds?

I found out today that the rail service companies are slowly being nationalised.

I am a 30 year old and pay 70£ a day to get into London four days a week.

It’s exhausting that there are no subsidies for rail cards for people my age - being 30 doesn’t mean you can magically afford the high rates that keep going up!!!

If anyone knows any info around this topic would be great to discuss it. Or somehow build a group big enough who also have this issue to sign a petition to get this discussed in parliament. Tired of the daylight robbery.

Any help would be appreciated

Will the crows hate me ?

I recently learned crows have really good memory and will remember you especially if you bring them food and look after them.

I gave them some pineapple as my first offering (not knowing they don’t like it) does this mean they will hold a negative impression of me for bringing food they don’t eat?

I come to this park a lot on my lunch break and am now worried that they will tell all the others

Why are dentists suddenly private only, is this a scam?

I live in a remote village in the UK, for the last 10 years the village dental practice has been run by a new owner (a former dentist who trained at the practise and eventually bought the place).

Over the course of the last few years - there’s been more and more hidden costs, prices have surged and also there is never scope to get referred via the nhs. Whenever you’re at the surgery all they do is try and upsell anything to you - admittedly I fell for it because I thought dentist’s had your best interest like a doctor.

The thing I’m struggling to understand here, and need some help understanding from a dentist is whether this set up is completely manufactured via the new owners wishes (being private on purpose) or are there government issues which is making the nhs appointments disappear?

As a patient and a member of the public I really would like to know my rights and what I can do.

Also out of curiosity I checked the new owners companies house - he is a millionaire now. Surely I feel the interests of the patients are not there.

I feel disappointed in the system - but would appreciate some explanations to clarify Incase I am wrong.
