An editor who always writes what he thinks

Peter Aengenheister, an editor who delights in controversy (see previous postings), is once again speaking out (I mean writing out of course). In his viewpoint column in the Rugby Advertiser, he finds common cause with the one million people who have signed the petition against the government's pay-as-you-drive proposal. "I am reaching the point of exasperation", he writes. "Has the government gone absolutely barmy? Do they really expect us all to ease into a pay-as-you-drive, penalise-you-per-mile system to combat congestion... This knee-jerk idea is hair-brained and short-sighted." (Via Rugby Advertiser)
