Fat chance of exclusion zones around schools

Posted by Steve Orme on August 13, 2007 11:08 AM | 

On the day that rent-a-communist turned out to point and shout at the aeroplanes, we get the crazy suggestion that mums walk their kids to school.
This is because fatness is killing the planet.
Sprogs and parents are getting so obese, it seems, that the earth is struggling to carry them and so running up a hell of a sweat causing global warming. Is that the theory?
The reality is that people drive their snappers to school for many reasons, one being time.
In the modern world there is a phenomenon call the working mother and she helps to pay something called the bloody big mortgage and the jolly expensive council tax.
Of course the children could walk to school like the good old days that I lived in. Except the bleeding hearts and artists, to quote Floyd, keep letting all manner of nonces and swivel-heads out of jail after punitive 30 second sentences. It's just not safe.
Car exclusion zones around schools? Fat chance.
