GUEST,Train Guard Kim Howells is Now After Trainspotters (54* d) Kim Howells is Now After Trainspotters 24 Sep 03


From The Times.

" KIM HOWELLS, the outspoken Transport Minister, says that trainspotters are a menace, accusing Britain's army of rail enthusiasts, made up mainly of men over 40, of distorting decision-making about transport in Britain. There are 150,000 people employed in the rail industry and at least 200,000 registered trainspotters, and they have enormous influence on transport policy, he said."

There are no 'registered trainspotters' (whatever that means), and I'm not sure what he has against men over forty. At least he didn't get so far as to require morris dancers to register.

Seriuosly, how can people take a bufoon like this seriously?
