I will never applaud the idiot Boris, nor the hardline Tories who are

Never mind class or party politics; what about "I don't like to have a
totally unsuitable vehicle blocking the pedestrian crossings, forcing
me to risk my life to get across the road"?


What about it? *It's emotive nonsense, no more.


I was coming up with an alternative statement that might better
characterise genuine objections to bendys, based on something that
happens frequently.

I suggest that it sums up what far more people feel about them than
the statement about objecting to people of a "lower social class" that
I was responding to.



I'm sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you actually believed that
rubbish. Thanks for making it clear.
