Ah the myth that bendies are only hated by car drivers. When campaigning for
Boris in areas served by bendies I found this policy to be very popular
amongst people who have to use them.

and people who think that
'being funny on a game show' is a qualification for public office.

It's called democracy. If the people of London didn't want Boris as their
Mayor he wouldn't have been voted into office. And if all Boris had ever
done was "be funny on a game show" he would never have got anywhere, let
alone into Parliament then the nomination and finally the office.
