A couple of inches of snow are going to see them closing down schools and public transport for a few days. Listening to our politicians telling is to stay indoors in case someone has a boo-boo is cringe-inducing.

When a career politician who so carefully budgets for and manages their PR screws up so openly, you can't begrudge people their little bit of schadenfreude can you? He is a leader for our times perhaps. An EU proxy, consulter, deferrer. But if the chips ever come down in this country a la real catastrophe, it is not the like of him you want at the wheel.
