Grit crises - the enigmatic new Green Activist Chris Connelly speaks on what he terms "Closedown UK"

It's getting slippy out there!

Returning home from Seven Kings station, and sliding across an untreated Cameron Road like a first round loser on 'Dancing on Ice', I was frankly flabbergasted to see two council parking wardens ruminating on whether to place a ticket on some unfortunate's iced up vehicle.

In conditions that have completely frustrated normal everyday life- closed airports, disrupted rail services, refuse collections abandoned and with even Ilford's heated shopping Mall closed early- it appears these municipal revenue generators are quite simply unstoppable.

Given this enviable tenacity, and the treacherous state of the average footway, could not these stalwarts not have been issued with a messanger bag of grit- or cat litter, given its seems grit is now like gold dust in closedown UK- to treat the footway as they walked their rounds.

Thus bringing good cheer to citizens everywhere, and turning popular demons into- temporary- cold weather folk heroes.
