The tragedy is I was wearing my Fridays top on a Thursday. I knew no good would come of it.2915144 said:I told you not to wear that Mod jersey with the roundel on the back.

I tried that with a Smart car once, didn't manage to roll it but it was rocking well and the driver looked decidedly worried.2915114 said:What about rolling the car over with them inside?
It is a license fee....I'll tell you what....ban all cars and charge all cyclists £230 per year to use the roads to make up the shortfall....oh hang on...that won't cover it because the road repair budget is actually more than they get from VED on its own...they also raise funds from fuel duty.....so instead of charging £230, that can be tripled to £690 per year
What...you don't like that idea ???? .... how about ban all cars, and charge the HGV's and delivery vehicles the cost so cycling can remain a free to use vehicle on the road transport network ?? ....no that won't work because it would be a tax on thepoor ..who would want to pay £20 for a can of baked beans ?
The bottom line is that cars need to be on the roads for cycling to remain a 'free at point of access' amenity.
Yes, we can all do without the ones who do stupid stuff when we share these spaces with them, but as long as there is a system in place which demonstrates that the road transport network is an amenity with has to be funded in the form of a license by some of its users, you will have to put up with the sense of entitlement that bring to those paying it...and the accusation that those who also use the amenity without a directly linked charge should also contribute for the upkeep of it !
Why do you keep pretending that VED has anything to do with road building or maintenance? You know it doesn't, so why the dishonesty?
Anyway no one is suggesting banning cars, so this "argument" is the very definition of a strawman.
And I would question why it's acceptable to leave one's private property in such a position that it obstructs public spaces and poses a hazard to other people.
You don't seem to understand the meaning of "quotes". You have previous form for this all over this forum. Now stop posting so much pish and get to your bed; you must have school in the morning.They're your words old darling, not mine, see your name below the quotes?
You've contradicted yourself, you're tying yourself in knots because you can't defend your racism or support of jokes about dead cyclists.
I'm challenging racist behaviour, you picked a side and came down on the side of the racist. How come? Do you use that word?
