The wedding feast at Bradford.

To Stranraer on the luxurious Stena Line where I sit in first class and have the pleasure to meet Shona who runs the place sans pareil. Thence to the train and chav hell. In front of me is a young Mum with two feral infants. "NATHAAAAN stop it". pause. "JORAAAAN, you want some fizzy drink?" Next to me is a heavily pregnant Glaswegian (with brat).

MPs class of travel

[bob_idle]

Your description of life on the ordinary class British train reminds me of a discussion I had with a friend some time ago. It was when the idea had been proposed that MPs be made to travel in the ordinary carriages rather than first class. To do with their expenses i think it was. My point was it would be best for MPs to experience travel like the rest of us have to put up with : - only then could/would something be done to improve the situation. My friend disagreed, saying that MPs would only be able to do work on the journey if they were in the first class carriages. Neither was able to sway the other towards their point of view and so we agreed to differ.

Just finished the sequel to this. Off to do a bit of Burchill bashing, she really is odious.

She seems to have been hired as the Indy version of a "shock jock", anything right of centre will get pulses racing. But why demolish Independent Minds? Were they THAT worried over us not agreeing with Rentoul et al?

It was so crowded they opened up the 1st class carriage to chavs. Or my name isn't Baby Face Kavanagh.
