Lib Dem Orange Booker Mark Oaten is absolutely right that training teenage joyriders to do useful things to the cars they enjoy playing with would be more sensible than either doing effectively nothing (as at present) or sending them to jail.
However, he should be horsewhipped by a collection of party worthies for mentioning "a creative scheme where they take youngsters that are joyriding and sent on certain tracks and go out racing cars". This isn’t a bad idea in the context of a ‘learning to do things with cars’ programme – but it won’t go down well with the bloodthirsty maniacs who make up the Great British Public, and it gives the Labour spin machine an excellent Lib-bashing stick.
It’s just given me a bashing stick as well.
You’re posting like a man possessed at present, John – everything OK ? I find its a balancing act between frequent posts and domestic harmony.
Well, domesticness involves rather less coupledom than it did couple of months ago, which I suspect is a contributing factor. I also haven’t been away for a couple of weekends, and those normally balance out the weekday schedule.
