“The cycling lobby won’t like this but we have to do something to make the roads safer.

“We’re moving towards fewer cars on the roads and getting towards automated car improvement, but as of today there are 35 million registered cars on our roads.

“Until this gets lower, considerations need to be made.”

I think perhaps the Right Honourable Mr Smith is looking at the wrong target, in terms of making roads safer.

I think that a better way of making roads safer might be getting HGVs out of city centres, and another might be reducing the number of private cars generally (not just in city centres).

But I'm not an MP, so what do I know...

I reckon you'd get something more sensible from Royston Vasey than from him.

@Mr Royston I would like you to justify this in your fucked up thinking.

You believe that this driver should be allowed to continue driving, and  badly at that, simply because a cyclist got in his way?

Not very bright, our Royston, is he? (I wonder what his log in here is...).

With all due respect and taking into account the festive season and goodwill to all men. Why don't you fuck off you ignorant twat?

He wouldn't know how to log in on here, and anyway he will surely be too busy downloading porn while claiming to be working for his constituents.

However, I'm sure his family members, paid with our taxes to work as his researchers, will have access to everything on all his work computers (including the porn, that he downloaded to a really obvious folder).

 

 

 

N.B. some of the above may not be 100% true, but then again when did a Tory MP care about facts?

Kind of like amputating an arm to cure the pain from a break.
