BMJ Journal Poll on helmets

Unfortunately most people including many politicians don't realise they are not a medical body but a doctors' Trade Union.
And then stop when you get the answer you want.
I can see this revolutionary departure from evidence based medicine implemented by the BMJ as having far reaching implications. We no longer need expensive clinical drug trials, just a vox pop poll on whether a new drug should be allowed or not.
2nd draft
You think it's a running joke. I think you're bunch of chinless twats, with not enough to do. You don't give a flying **** at a rolling doughnut that 8000 people die of falls in the home, you neither know nor care that a simple change in the Building Regulations would glass injuries by half, you don't give a monkeys about hospital borne infections and you're too scared to think that all too many GPs are halfwits who couldn't diagnose their way out of a ****ing paper bag. Your readers lead a life of pampered luxury at the taxpayer's expense, dispensing solecisms that would look lightweight in a Christmas cracker and you have nothing better to do than take your 'I'm scared of cyclists' problem for a walk in your sad little excuse for a journal. Statins for cash? Not bothered. Contraceptive implants. You don't give a toss. MRSA? Can't even be troubled to wash your hands. But when it comes to telling people what to do, you're like a ****ing rash. Half a glass of Pinot a day, ladies, or you'll go mental. Shift the weight, porky, or sing for your hip op. Give up fags or get the **** out of my surgery.
Don't, please, send me e-mails from your home addresses telling me that you ride a bike to work, because I'm not ****ing interested. You publish this shoot, so you take the heat. **** off.

Yeah, but my mate fell off and his head would have split into a million tiny pieces if he hadn't been wearing a helmet, you should see the crack in it.

What was he (or she) doing that led to them falling off? It's a serious point - the reason for compulsion is that people think that "all cycling is dangerous". It isn't.
I think we need to deflect the call for compulsion into consideration of the activities that create the problems:
So make it illegal to cycle at more than 20mph without a helmet (oh sorry officer, was I really doing more than 20...?). And illegal to drive at more than 20mph within 1.5m of a cyclist or pedestrian.

I wish I was in time to get one of those bike stickers.
The ones that said "RIDE A F***ING BIKE."
Can we make/order some more?

theclaud has one on her bike, I'd never seen one before, absolutely fab. Mickle had something to do with them I understand. I'd be in for a couple.

What a sensible suggestion make it mandatory to wear a helmet designed for no more than 12.5mph only if you are riding more than 20mph.
Here it f******g is

Yes. Claud was showing it off on the Bognor ride. Looked well good. Reckon we should chase it up.

Not being a master of the written word, I did wonder whether it should be 'F***ing ride a bike' as opposed to 'Ride a F***ing bike' please could somebody put me out of my misery on the subtle difference ....

I hurts your head more if you fall on it when not wearing a helmet
