I'll wager that they were breast feeding immigrants.
Can't move for them.

Speaking to the BBC's Sunday Politics Wales, Mr Farage said: "It took me six hours and 15 minutes to get here - it should have taken three-and-a-half to four.
"That is nothing to do with professionalism, what it does have to do with is a population that is going through the roof chiefly because of open-door immigration and the fact that the M4 is not as navigable as it used to be."

Part of my morning commute is along the M4, so I'll certainly be using this excuse to my client next time I'm late

Also while a 10-15% increase in cars may not appear to be a significant factor in a near 100% increase in time, note that traffic delays are not simply proportional to numbers of cars on the road, the maths is more complex and speed drops off more sharply as traffic density increases. When a road is already crowded (and the UK has not seen any major road developments in decades) a 10%+ increase in cars could make a big difference to journey time. Adding these extra cars could indeed cause those traffic jams which have no obvious cause.Last edited by xoggoth; 7 December 2014, 20:17.

Just blame immigration.

The daily mail stereotype has become real.
To some I suspect this may make him more electable.Tags: None
