You'd think that the sight of a working man setting out to better himself would bring encouragement. The notion that a common artisan should seek self improvement through book learning has long been a fundamental tenet of egalitarian thinking , and I think all decent people would agree with this.
Well, you'd think so wouldn't you? Then you need to think again!
Yes, it's the Health & Safety police with their heavy handed rules and regulations!
They've found a bus driver who likes to read, and now they want to put a stop to it.
OK, admittedly he likes to read whilst driving the bus, "steering with his elbows while holding a small book." but is that really so bad. I bet it gets really boring doing the same old route every day, and at least reading a good page turner gives you a decent excuse to ignore the passengers.
I don't think the H&S people have thought this through. I mean, what possible harm could come from it?
Crazy bureaucracy!
