Just seen this on my usual accurate and unbiased news source http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-maga...nitor-30235844 and note the comment 'Because there was a large distance between the wings and the wheels it gave the people pushing greater leverage. "It's the principle of the spanner - the longer the spanner the less force you have to apply in order to shift the nut,"'*

Correct me if I'm wrong (as I'm sure you all will) but, given that they were pushing it back in a straight line, isn't that statement complete bollocks?
