“I think that it is profoundly wrong how politicians who exert such a phenomenal amount of power over the lives of ordinary, normal people insist on travelling in a way that so completely insulates them from those same ordinary people. If you are wafted about in the biggest limousines, your path cleared of the insignificant herd by motorcycle outriders, then you are rapidly going to lose all contact with reality.”
Alexei Sayle
Somewhat bizarrely (for those who associate him with the heyday of Alternative Comedy), Sayle is a Motoring Correspondent for the Daily Telegraph. This quote is an extract from his latest column.
Not owning a car is a great way to stay fit, save money, and avoid loads of hassle. This is a blog with thoughts, photos, ideas and links about carfree life: walking, active travel, public transport, places and spaces - things that matter to everyone, but even more when you don’t own a car. Photos are by me unless credited. Forthcoming: book on carfree life. Meantime, get in touch via email at carfreelifeoutsidethebox@gmail.com or Twitter @carfreebrighton
