And in the UK, we're different as well. And the older I get, the more emollient I become, I think, about that. When I was younger, I would have had stronger opinions about that. But the way that Texas operates is Texas's stuff. It's the way you do things. And I'd have to be here a long time to fully understand the layers of it, the nuances of it.

And if you came to North Somerset, where I live, there's aspects of it that look, because we speak the same language, that look like they're straightforward, but they're not. Everything has subtleties, doesn't it? Yeah. That's why I see it. I think maybe to come back to some of the comments, it's when people become partisan about without any real information that we have problems.

People always giving me their fucking opinion about stuff when they haven't stopped to consider it. And I'm not trying to dodge issues here. You can probably tell I'm not completely apolitical. I just don't like politicians. I don't care what side of the fence they sit on. I'm deeply suspicious of people that go into a career of politics. As you should be. As you should be.

I've never come across a transport minister in the UK that really has any idea what's going on or any interest or even uses fucking transport other than being driven around. They're just bureaucrats. It's ridiculous. So that's my position on it. is I just sit there bewildered by what's going on. And maybe where I am a total soft cock is I don't have the spine to stand up and shout about it.
