No sadder sight than yesterday when Alistair Darling was sighted at
Westminster tube station, trying and failing to get through the
electronic gates, seemingly befuddled by his Oyster smartcard. An aide
travelling with the chancellor, once a transport secretary, was seen to
take the card and to show him how the millions of tube users manage to
negotiate the London Underground network every day. Then off they went.
Poignant. Heartbreaking.

Figures. Not only does he not drive but he apparently doesn't even use the
tube or train either. What a perfect choice he was as transport minister.

Presumably to become the chancellor he had to show he had no concept of
what money is or how to balance books properly...

oh , wait...
