It is winter in Britain and it is snowing. Why does this even become headline news? It snows every year – some years harder than others, but the moment the white stuff falls from the sky our country grinds to a standstill. Airports shut down. Trains are cancelled. Roads are impassable. Schools do not open. The country just cannot manage.

The Rt Hon Lord Adonis should be hanging his head in shame! Does he not talk with his other MPs also accountable for transport? If he is not sure of their names, I can remind him, they are The Rt Hon Sadiq Khan, Chris Mole and Paul Clark. They earn good money to do not much at all it would look to me.

In these months of recession when the UK is attempting to get itself moving again, this is a tragedy. Employees are working further from their home in order to secure a job, but this weather is making it impractical for them to reach their offices. Something needs to be done and fast! Why are we not talking to our Scandinavian cousins to ascertain how they manage? Why are more people not encouraged to Work From Home? If I can come up with these ideas, what are MPs who have the duty of making it happen doing?

We learn we are running out of salt to grit the roads – that is totally unacceptable! It is winter, there should be grit mountains on hand for the roads. How many other people would be tolerated running their companies so poorly and still keep going, I wonder. Not a lot I am sure!

As many firms are involved in the Internet Business to some degree, perhaps staff could be encouraged to do Online Jobs at home. Providing staff with PCs and permitting them to Work From Home regularly would at least mean that when they cannot get into work they are still industrious, which at this time is imperative to get the UK back on its feet.

This morning on the news we are advised that youngsters expecting to do their final A level exams next week may now not be able to take them because of school closures. This is totally intolerable. Students ready to undertake major exams are under enough pressure as it is without the extra pressure of not knowing whether they will be able to take exams they have worked so hard for, or if these will be postponed for 5 months. Schools and the education system have a duty to these students to ensure they are not adversely affected by things outside of their control.

Perhaps as the Internet Business takes off, we should all try to get Online Jobs and then no matter what the weather and how badly our country deals with it, the fact we are all now going to Work From Home would mean we were able to carry on with our lives with minimum disturbance. Children could be trained from home as in some remote areas of other countries, giving teachers less chance to cry off getting to school due to adverse weather, they would merely use online facilities to home-tutor and we could beat the trials of nature.
