Labour’s attempts to prove that NHS care for savage neurological injuries didn’t damage civil-libertarian brain function unfolded not entirely as planned…

Alternatively: After a nasty brain injury, Hammond was able to channel Clarkson at will, saving the BBC many millions of pounds on presenter’s fees…

Sorry, I’ll stop now. This is too rich a seam!

Shaun – quite! The question is, what else does he not see, and can a pattern be ascertained?

I fail to see anything wrong with what Hammond said.
I live 10 miles from the nearest McDonalds and still the twats drive that distance and chuck their rubbish in my tiny lane.

They are mindless morons and should be bastinadoed every Sunday.

Only works if littering isn’t being hijacked by those with a coat to hang on something with which we would all usually tend to agree.

Littering is an issue which is directly linked to being polite to others. Keep Britain Tidy lost my support once they started spouting coercive nonsense like this.

As for Hammond, is he serious? There are many who would string him up by his balls for advocating anti-environmental methods of transport. I’m certainly not one of them, but disappointed that he is joining in with the righteous hate-fest when he is equally in the cross-hair.

What chance calm and balanced persuasion, eh?
