It has taken 2 days for the new transport minister to make the most stupid statement ever made by any lifeform since life itself began. Apparently "car use is to be curbed because the roads were designed for horses and carts". By the same logic no new sewers are to be built because they were constructed in Victorian times and they are no longer up to the job. As a consequence shitting will be banned from next Wednesday.

I give up, where do they find these ****wits? Do they have to go to ****wit school before they get elected?

Going on his logic then, should air travel be banned next due to the skys being originally created for birds?

Why do we even have a dept of transport?

Total waste of tax payers money.

It's about time goverment reflected the views of the public. After all were the one's with the vote and the one's who should be asked what we want our money spent on. When are these arrogant shits going to listen to the man in the street?

In this digital age I think it's time for a real change. How about a real democracy whereby everyone has their views count. I would like to see the elimination of all politicians, to be replaced by a computerised on line voting system. Everyone can vote on the imporant issues, in a kind of monthly referendum - top 5 issues voted and acted upon immediately. No more wasting money on these useless arrogant tossers and things might actually get better for those that are actually paying for things, rather than the other way round. Obviously the computer system will have to be Mac based otherwise it'll neve work.

The Sunday Times - had an article this weekend on Darling's early days in Edinburgh - under the heading "Darlings past as a car hater". It's available on their website (www.timesonline.co.uk) but you need to register for it. Should make your blood boil!
