Setting a good example

In Siggiewi yesterday – a Ministry of Transport car parked over two parking spaces. And while we’re about it, exactly what was the car doing there, outside a private home? Are ministerial vehicles now perks of the job even for minions?

The driver was probably doing his utmost to be considerate – seeing that a truck could fit in either of those two spaces, he probably thought that parking in the middle would allow two cars to park on either side of his.
That, or it was just crass ignorance on his part.
I’m shifting towards the latter.
most morning i’m in traffic with a government car similar to this one (i think a dept of Justice one though) who has children in it assuming the parent is driving them to school. So i’m pretty certain that most of them take the company car home.
‘Ignorance’ as in not knowing that four corners forming a rectangle are for a car to park within? In the absence of mitigating circumstances, arrogance must be assumed.
One also notices the shopping baskets on the ground, outside, where any dog or cat could have visited and left some liquid or solid surprise. So easy to transfer to the packaging of your groceries and then the inside of your fridge or pantry.
It is evident that he/she wanted to park directly in front of the door of what is presumably his/her house.
It happens only when Labour do it. It is not the car that is the eye-catcher, the status symbol. It is the way the car is parked that gives some forsaken and forlorn Labourite an air of importance in a world in which he is not but just a number.
