Bonkers bankers pay Theresa May £308 a minute to chat.
Don't they realise they could save a fortune by replacing
expensive talkers with free thinkers?...

With the RAF holding back on recruiting white men, and
with not a single white man on the short list to take over
from Jeremy Paxman on University Challenge, I can't help
feeling the Monty Python team are writing our country's
script. On white paper! Very naughty boys...

How short-sighted we are. As climate change rages all around us, we're
still trying to make life as hard as possible for cyclists, with talk of the
need for registration numbers, bike insurance and even more restrictions.
In truth, it's the motor vehicle we should be discouraging - urgently and
in no uncertain terms. How lazy we have become. Cycling should be
encouraged in spades. Not only is it by far the cleanest form of transport
environmentally, it's the healthiest - and cheapest! - too. I'd even give away
cycles free, and impose ever more restrictions on the motorist. (At the same
time greatly improving public transport.) The exact opposite of what seems
to be the case. It won't happen, of course, we're far too mollycoddled and set
in our ways. But for a healthier, cleaner, quieter and more relaxing quality of
life, bikes really are the future. There's none so blind as those who will not
see. Don't just take my word for it, take the planet's. Before it's too late.
