Errrmmmmmm....Why??

Mal


Where do I begin?

- Responsible for the premature demise of the Routemaster;
- Responsible for introducing the most idiotically unsuited form of
transport ever devised for London's narrow and idiosyncratic streets:
Bendbuses;
- Someone who is a sucker for any "flavour of the month"
pressure-group, such as the "disabled" lobby
- an inability to see anyone else's point of view once his mind is made
up (i.e. no magnanimity whatsoever);
- an arrogance that results in rude and petulant behaviour towards
those with whom he takes issue;
- Someone who is completely out-of-touch with ordinary travellers;
- Someone who seems to idolise Ken Livingstone (That ALONE makes his
wholly unsuited to public service).

And I'm sure that others can add to this list.
