Ah, Christmas.  Nothing says peace & goodwill to all men (and women, and other) like concrete barriers, metal detectors and police with fully automatic machine guns.

It seems people have no problems with strong, secure borders, protected by walls and armed police.  But only round Christmas markets … and bridges, and pretty much any public space now! Definitely not around your country. That’d be racist and xenophobic.

The really disgusting thing about these security measures is that they send out the completely wrong message – they suggest that the whole driving community are dangerous; that all car and van drivers aren’t to be trusted.  Don’t people know that there are millions of vehicles in the country and only 1 or 2 far right hand drive ones cause the problem?! Blatant vehicularphobia.
