Once a pillock, always a pillock. Neil Kinnock, the former Labour leader- the one-time fierce Euro-sceptic and opponent of the House of Lords who ended up as a EU Commissioner and a Lord, has now got a new hobby-horse: changing all 200,000 of Britain's road signs to kilometers.

How many people look at a road sign in miles and think 'oh what an old-fashioned, monocultural, undynamic place Britain is'.
Lord Pillock is to be joined in this mad-cap crusade by a couple of other political losers, Lord 'Dead Sheep' Howe and Lord Dick Taverne, whose claim to fame is that he once won a by-election over thirty years ago.....
