Tom Brake is Sad

In a press release which desperately screams "look at me, look at me please somebody", Liberal Democrat Shadow Transport Secretary Tom Brake MP, sent out a tragic Christmas Eve press release in which he advocated that Santa used more environmentally friendly public transport. More environmentally friendly than magic flying reindeer?

UPDATE:
Alex Drake in Australia emails to point out that the Hon. Warren Truss MP (really, I know the name sounds like a kinky sex position but it is his name) gave permission for Santa to over-fly Australia. Guido's mother points out that the Irish government did the same. Why this should be the necessary when we know that Santa uses quantum effects to travel through time and space beats Guido. You didn't think he really came down the chimney?

What the f**k - I fell off my chair and had to check the date that it wasn't 1st April!

What does my LibDem buddy now suggest - a culling of all rheindeer for emitting dangerous gasses?

Better to cull waffling politicians - surely the amount of harmful hot are these expel we could be doing us all a favour!

Hang on...SCREEMS? You need a good sub-editor, you do. Did you go to skool or did you leave a large part of your brain in a field somewhere? Or are you simply not tramelled by the bourgeois conventions of spelling (and on other occasions, syntax?)

Its frequently been said that Guido likes an extra 'E' every so often.

Now corrected. The position of sub-editor is available. In fact I want to head-hunt you for it. Bet thats never happened to you before!

Duh... do you all really think it was intended to be taken entirely seriously? Seems more like post-festivity-sense-of-humour-failure on your part(s) to me.

Nojags,

No. But he is desperaqtely serious about getting his name in the papers.

How many good little boys and girls would actually get their presents if Santa relied on Transport for London on Christmas Eve.
Would Santa cross their picket line?

Oh it has my friend. SCREEM would have been a great name for a club night...back in the day
