I must say, it's nice to see unanimity from the utl regulars on the
subject of Jenkins being a cock on this. It is apparently a sound working
principle that the only people allowed to comment on public transport in
the Evening Standard are those manifestly unqualified to do so.


He spoke total drivel about a subject he'd not grasped and failed to
understand, let alone answer, a question put to him pointing out the hole
in his argument.


And he was on Radio 4 at lunchtime pontificating about tourists visiting
the Antarctic. Are there no limits to this man's knowledge?


None at all. In much the same way that there is no edge to the area of a
point.
