Rugby editor gives yellow lines the red card

The editor of the Rugby Advertiser has unleashed a savage attack on the authorities responsible for introducing charges for parking in the town. Rugby is about to get yellow lines and traffic wardens for the first time. But Peter Aengenheister writes on his weekly paper's website today: "I warned... I would not let this one lie. The borough council says the county council is responsible, and the county says they were only following orders from central government. Well I... don't care. Our representatives have betrayed us... I intend to find out who initiated this plan, who voted for it, and ask them why they thought the people should not be listened to. I intend to name names... This is not a situation where opinion is balanced either way - it is a clear and resounding 100% NO, NO, NO!" And, as if that wasn't quite strong enough, he concludes: "Take your heads out of your backsides or face the public's wrath!" (Via Rugby Advertiser)
