Mind the gap

Lou has posted some stunning street art from New Zealand, which seems to be a very cool country. While Neal was there, he witnessed a Green MP turning up to parliament on a skateboard.

Actually, that's not cool. Adults on skateboards or BMXs, or permanently glued to games consoles are perpetual adolescents, addicted to toys, resistant to growing up and taking responsibility for the world outside their own gratification. It's amusing to subvert our image of politicians, but a skateboard is still a toy.
