Traffic

So this evening it takes me an hour to do the 2.5 miles home from work on the bike because although Blaine has fooked off, some tosser has now decided to replace him by staging a protest up a crane at Tower Bridge. And that is in spite of cutting out of the jam by riding up on the pavement and going around a different way. A car would have taken even longer. Having finally made it, the traffic is still gridlocked outside my window and the noise and fumes will presumably continue to percolate up until he sees fit to come down. Is it right that people can inconvenience a whole load of other people either to make a fast buck (Blaine) or to make a point (Chick)? Now where did I put that .22 rifle?
