SO our new Minister of Transport decides that there isn't enough room for further roads or motorways in this country.

I wouldn't argue with that. However, it's also suggested that there isn't enough room in this small over-populated island for our own beleaguered population, let alone all these so-called refugees that are apparently pouring in through the Channel Tunnel.

Perhaps we should block the tunnel and stop the benefits given to these people. Perhaps, if we got this under control, we may be able to afford to pay our pensioners a decent rate and have a decent transport system, including new roads.

But, there again, I'm a humble citizen, not a bloated, plutocratic overpaid politician!
