wafflycat twisted the electrons to say:

I find it's generally best *not* to listen to the Jeremy Vine show. I don't know where they dig up the members of the public who contact them, but the stupidity of some of them[1] is truly awe-inspiring. It's something of a shame really as some of the people they have in to talk about the details of $SUBJECT do seem to know their stuff ... [1] Eg: The gentleman last week who seemed to believe that if you where arrested by the police you had to prove your innocence[2], rather than them trying to prove your guilt! [2] I'm sure Riechsfuhrer Blunkett was trying to move the country in that direction but we haven't (AFAIK) quite got there yet ... -- These opinions might not even be mine ... Let alone connected with my employer ... |

Worth going and voting now. On a related point, I'm getting a bit fed up of BBC cyclist bashing. Can we collect together a list of all the recent examples that know of anti and pro? I then plan to write to The Management to complain about their one sided cyclist bashing with examples of how many bashes they have against positive pieces. -- Tony "Anyone who conducts an argument by appealing to authority is not using his intelligence; he is just using his memory." - Leonardo da Vinci |

The bit I caught was a lady cyclist campaigning against red light running at a particular crossing where a number of pedestrians had been injured by red light running cyclists. Is that cyclist bashing? pk |

It seems there has been/is a campaign of enforcement. It started because 4 children were injured. 'Mums with banners' then ran a local campaign bringing the issue to the attention of both the errant cyclists and the police. Apparently a number of cyclists were handed spot fines. I'm with pk on this one. Cyclists should obey all traffic laws. John B |
