Bigbro's foray into the scary world of blogging
Once again the bus to work was approx. 30 minutes late. This is the 3rd time in the last 6 days of going to work that I've waited more than 30 minutes for a scheduled service. I wish the government would take its collective head out of its arse and deal with issues that are actually important (like public transport) and stop trying to pass laws on whether knives should be sold to under 18 year olds, or whether they should have a pointy tip or not. To say the 'Nanny State' of Great Britain has gone mad is now, IMHO, a woefully inadequate assessment of the insanity of the situation. (It is quite comedy that you can get married and drive a car before you're allowed to purchase a kitchen knife though.)
While I'm no political analyst (and know very little about politics, in general) I'm beginning to see why the less rational among our populus can justify it to themselves to vote for such parties as the UKIP and BNP. Even if their issues are (at the very least) distasteful, they are at least brave enough to actually deal with some real issues, unlike what the currently elected group of ineffectual overly-PC MPs seem capable of.
UPDATE:
The bus has now pulled over to the side of the road and the engine has been turned off... Looks like I should have just worked from home today... Nope... we're going again... Aaaaand we've stopped again... And we're going again, though there's a big hill coming up - I don't fancy this bus' chances of getting up it without another rest... *cry*
