A picturesque scene of snow in North Yorkshire, England

British Transport Secretary has two kind, compassionate, lovely words for his fellow Britons complaining (whingeing) about the heavy snow fall: shut it! He doesn't want to hear it.

Totterdown, Bristol

The snow looks wonderful falling over beautiful Britannia, but Britons have been stuck in their homes, as a result of public transport having difficulty making its way through the snow. Still, it must be nice looking out at all that snow. I'm not used to seeing Britain blanketed.

Britain is blanketed in snow again, there's not enough grit, the trains grind to a halt

... and the Transport Secretary says: Don't whinge!

Suffering motorists have been told to ‘stop whingeing’ by the Transport Secretary despite now facing treacherous ice after five days of snow chaos.

In an astonishing outburst before another big freeze last night, Geoff Hoon said drivers had only themselves to blame for the struggle to get around.

Mr Hoon, who has come under fire himself for failing to ensure there was enough grit on the roads, insisted motorists were ill-prepared for the conditions and suggested they fork out £54 on snow chains to ensure their tyres could grip.
