I saw this story in the newsfeeds<\/a>. It\u2019s in the Wirral Globe, and it reports how several headstones were damaged in a cemetery by a learner driver who lost control. Since one of them was that of a soldier killed on active duty, the hyenas are out in force.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s just consider a few things. First of all, the story doesn\u2019t specify whether the \u201clearner\u201d was with an ADI – so taking proper lessons – or out with his\/her mother, father, or just his mates.<\/p>\n

Secondly:<\/p>\n

[Cllr Davies, the wannabe politician who has just discovered his calling in life, said]\u2026 I saw the outcome of the online survey done by the Globe which showed that people have called for it to be banned.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

People HATE learner drivers for no other reason than that they are idiots. What the hell did Cllr Davies expect a \u201csurvey\u201d – carried out in the wake of the desecration in question – to reveal? Still, at least it\u2019s provided him with some work and a possible leg up to the next level.<\/p>\n

If there is going to be any ban, it should be for ALL drivers<\/strong>, and not just learners. Learner drivers cause infinitely less damage to these places than \u201cnormal\u201d drivers do – and that includes those going there to actually grieve, and not just using the place as a short cut or a place to eat their McDonalds or to \u201cmake out\u201d.<\/p>\n

Now read the part about repairing the stones:<\/p>\n

Council officers contacted families of the five memorials affected, explaining that the memorials will all be restored or replaced via a claim on the driver\u2019s insurance.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The \u201cdriver\u2019s\u201d insurance? So that means it wasn\u2019t a proper driving instructor.<\/p>\n

The Wirral Globe, Cllr Davies, and all the hyenas ready to swear that their lives have been ruined as a result should bear that in mind before they start egging driving school cars.<\/p>\n

Cllr Davies doesn\u2019t seem that clued up on grown-up politics, either. He ought to consider the possible discrimination aspect if only<\/strong> learners are banned from public places.<\/p>\n

Incidentally, the idiot supervising the learner – whatever or whoever he or she is – should be taken to the cleaners for being rubbish at what they do. But the names on the headstones have absolutely nothing to do with any ban – though unfortunately, that appears to be the driving force in this case.<\/p>\n

Instead of piddling about with petty stuff, Cllr Davies ought to throw his weight behind getting the law changed so that learners can only be supervised by ADIs. But I guess that won\u2019t win him anywhere near as many votes come the next elections.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
