WHO needs RoboCop for law enforcement when you can have our own Stonebow rising bollard (May 22)?
I couldn't believe my eyes when I was witness to the awesome violence caused by this bollard (or was it an Exocet missile?) that had skewered the front end of a public bus. To the urgent sound of fire engines racing to the scene, I witnessed the entire road gushing with what looked like petrol and radiator fluid. I was glad no one nearby was smoking.
Although the need for keeping private cars from entering the inner sanctum of York is a valid one, this idea seems ill- advised.
