Charles Alexander, one time crofter's son, now the Laird of Brotherton Castle in Scotland, is fond of shooting—"but not on my own estate," he says. This may be an oblique reference to the Transport Bill because Charles believes that the Minister of Transport is bent on killing a healthy transport system.
Mr. Alexander is one of many men from humble beginnings who have made a resounding success of a transport business. Surely it would be better for Mrs. C if she recruited such men to her team rather than alienated them. After all, who could call a crofter's son a bloated capitalist?
