Horrible nasty little social climbing maggot.<br /><br />Well Parshole and your ilk who think that Opera id just another step on the social ladder. In times gone by classical music fans viewed opera as a very dumbed down art form for the lower social classes, rather than attending an orchestra.<br /><br />But then again you have no real intelligence of any art form whatsoever, just another sad failure in everything that you did, so the only option was to become a "critic" who spouts bile about what all of us unenlightened plebs should be listening to and watching.<br /><br />Parsehole has the sort of nasty little face will piggy little eyes that you would never ever get sick of hitting. Reminds me a bit physically of that other little piggy eyed cockney (sorry Essex) cunt Malcolm Smith. I actually though Dyer must have been some ex cage fighter hard man or something turned "actor" when he first crawled out from under a stone the way he was billed as a "hard geezer" but no. Just a sort of loudmouth ex football yob with a penchant for slapping women about.

Part of the justification for HS2 is that it will make it possible to run regular frequency stopping services on the WCML, of the kind that it's impossible to run at the moment despite strong demand because of the need to find paths for high-speed and freight trains.john bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13784096180652522939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-87069408011811456742016-02-15T19:10:51.316+00:002016-02-15T19:10:51.316+00:00As a regular commuter from Stoke to Crewe (using S...As a regular commuter from Stoke to Crewe (using Stoke, Longport or more often Kidsgrove railway stations) I concur. The roads are worse than bad because too many people use them for journeys that the network can't handle. This David Whitby Way will "ease" congestion... for about one milisecond, before it gets clogged in its own turn.<br /><br />Everyone needs to get on board and demand that the rail service be improved. Reopen closed lines and get more trains, in particular, not enough trains are leaving Crewe bound for Stoke and I fear it will get worse with very small stations after HS2. Walking and cycling to school and something needs to be done, in all honesty, to compensate cyclists in the way that car drivers are compensated. Drivers in Stoke go round as if the cycle lane was a joke, the number of times I've been put in danger when exercising my rights.<br /><br />Also the rural bus "service" is worse than bad and has degenerated even further since September. The Tories would probably say "let's get everyone rich and they'll all be able to afford cars and no one will need the bus" or "fuck 'em", depending on who you ask. But it has nothing to do with Polish lorry drivers or asylum seekers (none of the asylum seekers I know, and I'd wager more of them than Parsons, has a car anyway.asquithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246701347539264295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-69592578630581060142016-02-15T15:58:25.456+00:002016-02-15T15:58:25.456+00:00If he'd bothered to look elsewhere in the Murd...If he'd bothered to look elsewhere in the Murdoch empire he'd have found an article in the Times which says that traffic has slowed down because of delivery vans (not sure if this link will work - http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/business/industries/transport/article4688737.ece?shareToken=7e687a2e0dee2c9385f3518cb29e5c6a) <br /><br />His comment about "if you have a job then you get in a car in the morning" is also nonsense - something like 80% of the population of London don't drive to work (and the 2011 census says that more than half of the population of inner London don't even have a car)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01232493500845859244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-45338319880177729542016-02-15T14:28:55.178+00:002016-02-15T14:28:55.178+00:00"If you have a job, then you get in your car ..."If you have a job, then you get in your car in the morning." <br /><br />Wrong - I leave the house, walk 200m to the railway station and take a 15 minute train trip.

Hold on...<i>the westbound A40 in Camden, North London</i><br /><br />Hold on. The A40 might well go through the borough of Camden but it's not actually <i>in</i> Camden per se - it starts in Holborn and then goes through St Pancras, Euston etc til it becomes the Westway. From interviews, it seems Parsons lives in Hampstead. <br /><br />At the very least he'd have been ultra-aware of the likely route to school since it seems, again from interviews, that his daughter was 11 in 2014, so is either 12 or 13 now - thus recently arrived at secondary school (and he claimed that Hampstead has 'great schools' in another interview). Whatveer school it is, it is definitely a school he and his family actively sought out, and whose location they knew in advance. Seems a bit silly to choose a school with such hideous transport links (Hampstead to A40 is a pretty long way) and then to blame that on the immigrants. organic cheeseboardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-44273963290711045002016-02-15T11:34:25.680+00:002016-02-15T11:34:25.680+00:00Tony Parsons hates cycling likening it to masturba...Tony Parsons hates cycling likening it to masturbation, says all you need to know about him Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07808665967146839003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-3403739313582848542016-02-15T11:33:34.020+00:002016-02-15T11:33:34.020+00:00Why does this dope drive his daughter to school at...Why does this dope drive his daughter to school at 4.9mph.
