As the country grinds to a halt and and thousands stranded should the Minister for Transport be booted out as was the case in Scotland?

Leave his heating on to turn the snow to rain?
Why should he be sacked for an act of God?
transport minister sacked!
WHAT NEXT .... gatwick owners being sacked :rolleyes:
my god its a act of nature!!!! if you wanna blame someone blame NATURE!!!
Perhaps sacking the minister for education would be more fruitful considering the OP?
Yep, underroad heating is the only way to go!
They are on major roads (for which he has responsibility for). Minor roads are the responsibility of the council.
Are you willing to pay for them?
Yep, for all 250000 miles of road in the UK.
I was being sarcastic!! I find it hard to believe that now the government is being blamed for an act of nature!
Or indeed having the means to deal with it.
After saying that lessons had been learnt from the snowfall earlier this year.:rolleyes:
No, really, let's do it!
The roads are being gritted, some snow ploughs have been out. What more could anyone do with the amount of snow and temperatures that are being experienced? If there was a gritter on every corner, and councils workers scrapping pavements and snowploughs on every street, everyone would be up in arms at the cost of their council tax next year!
No, because a) He can't control the weather, b) The outcome would have been exactly the same whoever the Minister of Transport had been. It wouldn't have made the slightest difference.
Absolutely we are wasting hundreds of thousands on sick people, heart operations, educating youngsters it's outrageous.
Get the underroad heating in for the few weeks we may have of snow.
Sack him, orf with this head.
It's no good saying how well Alaska or Norway do (for example) .. they expect it, it's a way of life. Their infrastructure is geared for it.
If we spent billions on the "off chance" then there would be ructions about over spending on a mild winter.
We live in the middle ground. We are not geared for extremes and to be fair we rarely have them.
Far more sensible than this idea of under-road heating. How is that practical.
no and neither didnt scottish one, but labour, the tories, liberals and the gutter press all ganged up to force him to resign. wonder what the latter three will call for now the south of england is in chaos?
Sorry where i live i know people that have been out and not a gritter in sght either before the deluge or since.
In my county i think they were caught out.
Still never mind "lessons are being learnt" as the government always says.:rolleyes:
The UK having bad winters seems to becoming the norm. Before the winter of 2009 we'd had quite mild winters for over twenty years. When that happens you become accustomed to them and when we then get extreme weather like now have its a bolt out of the blue. Should this country invest in more snow ploughs etc, I don't know the answer as its quite possible our weather could revert back. I can't see how an a natural act can be blamed on one single person. I think we're coping very well with weather most of us aren't used to. The logistics of keeping this country moving must be an absolute nightmare.
Exactly what I wanted to say, but you said it better!
