RWD BMW trying hard not to be in traffic, (but he is traffic) and gets beached on the central reservation (movie still). Then someone puts Superman in the picture – I know there’s a movie out, but does anyone know the reference?

If I have this right, people
If I have this right, people in Medway are rebelling against maintenance to their own gas supply. We’re at the fringes of the road network with not many options for a diversion.

I’ll see your oversimplification (about England) and raise you a stereotype – if you look at the map, it’s a story of ignorance and isolation; rather sad actually. In London (Oxford, Cambridge, other nice spots) you are connected and informed and vote Remain.
