Why will 'things' only get worse with Johnson?

I think I reckon I remember as vguely as you might do, that Mrs Thatcher said someting about a man over a certain age being a failure of he didn't have a car. Or something along those lines. She was mad as a baloon (probably) when she said it and, is as loony as a badger these days, the poor old sow. No one, not even her own party takes her seriously any more. Sadly. Perhaps. But to quote her to make a point? Maybe I won't take it too seriously.

The bus service isn't bad, and as for his ?70,000 Range Rover drivers, I bet there was a timw when Johnson might have known them, but he's since eschewed them and what they may be offering.

The 176 is no worse than any other bus, its a very long route, and with all the traffic and road works in central London and Kirkdale, the bus is not always going to get to its destination. It will be finishing at Tottenham Court rd soon, when they start demolishing the Astoria.
