...bear with me, but in A Other Place, which I also frequent, I see some goddamn awful tripe.

A recent one, on the subject of transport, just got me ticked off, and I finally got around to doing what I promised to, for ages.

Namely, to put, in some manner, a speech for the motorist.

Now, one of the most memorable ones to me, is always that soliloquy of Col Jessup, in A Few Good Men. I thought, then, that this would be a good template for my little dabble, and, so, without further ado........here it is..

The Motorist
“And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

Next month's budget will be a killer, I'm expecting my car will have to be replaced by a horse.
