Don’t worry pedal people Michael Green…no, I mean Corinne Stockheath, …er or is it Sebastian Fox?… oh no, I forgot it’s Grant Shapps now, anyway no need to worry it turns out he’s just another Tory MP that’s full of shit and is just pushing headlines .
“Shapps used Distraction…
It wasn’t very effective.”
Not read the article but I’m assuming money is involved, maybe another tax, Tory friends own a cycle insurance company or something along those lines.
It’s absolutely vital to be able to find someone’s true identity
Cos he ate all his crayons and had to cut and glue together the first words he seen in a news paper ?
The man’s got no clue what he’s doing is only there because of nepotism and has the level of experience that would barely qualify him to collect trollies in Tesco.
It is interesting how with the most woefullly inadequate cycling infrastructure, constantly pummeling on the effect rather than the cause is always working nicely as political capital.
Councils got money based on the *total* length of cycle paths, so all around my city the cycle paths painted on life-threateningly dangerous roads appear and disappear magically. The “lanes” are unusuable, people try to find safer alternatives, this attracts furore… whilst council sends off XLS sheets with total lengths of X miles, get applause and money.
Others beat the drums about the sums spent on, and the number of places in, their new large amazing awesome mega-super-duper secure cycle park, and how safe it is to leave your bike there… whilst they don’t think about cyclists needing to reach it *alive* in order to use it. As the cycle “lanes” are shared with buses on narrow 2-lane roads, and the whole system is astonishingly lethal & stupid – but the particular city’s oh-so-mighty local newspaper is so far up its own windpipe, together with all its council muppets, that nobody shouts: the Emperor is very obviously not wearing any clothes…
Sure, the new ShyteShapps proposals are ludicrously impractical, but if there is money to be made without addressing the fundamental cause to the “problem” this muppet wants to “solve”, his mates will soon be setting up N companies for insurance, number plates, whatnot.
Meanwhile, the fluorescent elephant in the room, i.e. the actual cause of many issues with cyclists, will continue to knock over the porcelain and the bookshelves.
