Brian Cooke of TFL claims cyclists are freeloaders.

Makes you really wonder how the team is made up, what with that other guy, Peter Anderson's company actively lobbying against cycling.

TfL says board member should be "more restrained" after he called Twitter user "lying cow"
Remarks didn't call "into question Mr Cooke's suitability" for TfL board, says organisation.

"Last week Cooke – who describes himself as "strong Conservative" and was sacked as boss of TravelWatch for making a pro-Boris political statement in the last mayoral election"


Goes without saying why he got the cushy TFL job in the first place.

He disappeared from Twitter then popped up again to slag off Scottish people. I don't mean to be unkind but he seems amazingly thick.

He didn't exactly 'slag' off Scottish people, did he?

 

[glenn forger]

Yes.

 

[dodgy]

Yes.

Thanks for that informative post. What did he say?

 

[glenn forger]

He slagged off the Scotch. It says so in my post.

You mean 'Scots'.

Are you having trouble understanding my posts?

Are you angry again?

 

[glenn forger]

How come you reckon what he said wasn't offensive if you have no idea what he said?

 

[albion]

Scotch?

Must have been Bells.

Must have be pretty offensive. His account has been deleted. The google cache doesn't have anything interesting
