'Ride it by rail' - unfortunate connections

Photos of motive and rolling stock, stations, signals and anything else train related in U.K. & Ireland! Photos should be 800x600 pixels, maximum size 130K. Very good ones will be moved to the Online Gallery, the rest will be pruned away after 14 days to conserve space.

'Ride it by rail' - unfortunate connections

Post by John Ashworth »

You'd probably have to be British to appreciate this, or at least very au fait with British current affairs. It's doing the rounds of UK rail fora on the internet.

The gentleman on the bike is apparently Sir George Young, who has just been appointed Tory Chief Whip after his predecessor, Andrew Mitchell, had to resign after allegedly calling the police plebs and morons (he denies it and claims he only used a word which the FOTR forum's automatic censor would write as ***). Sir George's desire to publicise rail travel is laudable, but he might not wish to be associated with the gentleman in the bottom right hand corner, the late Sir Jimmy Saville, who is now being investigated post mortem for allegedly being a serial paedophile and possibly being part of a paedophile ring involving acquaintances who are still living.
