Anti-cyclist "Celeb" gets flamed in the Guardian

[HebdenBiker]

A boring interview with James Martin, but the comments underneath are getting quite entertaining

Nice to see people get reminded of their crassness.

The biggest knobber that walks on 2 legs, hated by just about every demographic group. Never forgiven him for blowing up the Alfa from being an incompetent tit, or treating the lass who was his co-driver like shoot.

I know nothing of this man nor what he did, or didn't, do to cyclists nor his opinion on them. I don't feel my life will be enriched by knowing.

What does surprise me is that The Guardian is running a non-story like this. Some TV chef in a (I Want to be a) Celebrity TV show? Wow.

I didn't realise he'd been on 'Attention-Seeking in the Woods'.
It certainly explains a lot though.

I notice many, many of those comments have been removed since this afternoon.

I've only heard of him on CC. The UK seems to breed this type of person by the score.

Actually IIRC this worked out well.

After many complaints the Company involved withdrew their vehicles and two or three others who used to allow him to "test drive" dropped him as well.

So......he can write in a paper stating he'd run cyclists off the road, but people are censored in replying to him?

Hmmmmmmmmmmm....................?

Although I don't buy papers, I certainly won't buy that one now, not that I would anyway.

As far as I can see, only one comment has been removed, and that was mine (the first one). I don't blame the mods - my comment contained a particularly foul-mouthed insult
