Simon Jenkins in 'is idiot' shock
"Ian Jelf" wrote in message
... In message , Tom Barry writes John B wrote: "Crossrail will eat money. Kill it, Boris, and save the bankrupt Tube instead" http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standa...ils/article.do -- 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 was the headline speaker one year at the Institute of Tourist Guiding's AGM. 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. Discuss! :-) -- Ian Jelf, MITG Birmingham, UK If he can find people stupid enough to pay him to talk/write rubbish, you have to admire him, and feel jealous! MaxB |

Mind you, I do know who else was considered and SJ was less controversial at the time....... :-) -- Ian Jelf, MITG Birmingham, UK Registered Blue Badge Tourist Guide for London and the Heart of England http://www.bluebadge.demon.co.uk |
