Default Where is Justipoo's?

The **** has gone very quiet after being caught posting rude & abusive
remarks from his school e mail system.

You could hear his arse puckering from 500 km away.

Is this yet another psycholist who had a severe bollocking?

Default Mayoral Election: Jenny Jones and Ken Livingstone get the vote fromLondoners On Bikes

QUOTE:

As Londoners head to the polling stations today to elect the city’s
new mayor – or, if the most recent opinion polls are correct, re-elect
its existing one – the campaign group Londoners On Bikes is urging
voters to put the Green Party’s Jenny Jones as their first preference
on their ballot papers, with Labour’s Ken Livingstone second. The
London Cycling Campaign (LCC) has said separately that it believes Ms
Jones’s manifesto has most to offer cyclists, with Mr Livigstone’s
coming next.

When it was formed a couple of months ago, Londoners On Bikes stated
that its aims were to ensure that candidates put cycling at the heart
of their cycling policy, and that ahead of the election it would flag
up which candidate it believed offered most to the city’s cyclists,
and which of the leading contenders did so.

Those recommendations were confirmed following this week’s mayoral
cycling hustings hosted by Sustrans and The Times, an event at which
current mayor Boris Johnson of the Conservative Party had a chance to
win over the cycling lobby; the common consensus of those present
seemed to be that he spectacularly blew it with what was described as
a “a meltdown rant.”

Ms Jones, a regular thorn in Mr Johson's side on cycling issues at
mayor's question time, is an unsurprising choice for the candidate
seen as having cyclists’ interests most at heart, with Londoners On
Bikes returning the verdict that “Jenny has a clear commitment to
getting Londoners on bikes and making our roads safer and more
liveable.”

Mr Livingstone, previously mayor from 2000 to 2008, attracts the
following endorsement: “Ken seems prepared to make the real investment
it would take to make London a world-class cycling city and putting
our first choice, Jenny Jones, on the board of TfL makes him a cut
above the other two candidates.”

Ms Jones previously served as deputy mayor to Mr Livingstone between
May 2003 and June 2004.

As for Mr Johnson, Londoners On Bikes says: “His policy of ‘smoothing
traffic flow’ has made roads agressive and more dangerous, disregarded
cyclists and pedestrians and no amount of cycling festivals will
change that.”

The fourth of the main candidates, Liberal Democrat Brian Paddick, has
been a strong critic of Mr Johnson’s cycling policy throughout the
campaign, although Londoners On Bikes' summary is: “Some very positive
policies but he is unlikely to win the election so bike vote is best-
used ensuring that Boris doesn’t get back in to City Hall.”

The group’s website provides an overview of the principal cycling
policies of each candidate, a link to their manifestos and video
interviews with Ms Jones and Mr Livingstone.

LCC’s own assessment of the merits of each candidate when it comes to
the promises about cycling made in their manifestos can be found here.

Cycling was always likely to be an issue in the electoral campaign,
with transport the one area in which the mayor has real executive
power - he or she chairs Transport for London by virtue of being
mayor, appoints its board, and formulates its policy.

However, a series of fatalities towards the end of last year propelled
cycling, and the safety of cyclists in particular up the agenda in
London.

Since The Times newspaper launched its Cities Fit For Cycling campaign
in February, it has also become a political issue nationally, as well
as one increasingly covered by mainstream media, as witnessed by the
recent furore over comments about cyclists made by Addison Lee boss
John Griffin, which even attracted criticism in blogs on the websites
of the Daily Mail and Daily Telegraph.

It’s true that for most London voters, cycling may not even register
among the factors that make them decide which candidate should get
their vote, and even among those who do cycle in the city, other
issues will be a consideration; Londoners On Bikes, however, was
founded on the belief that there would be little enough between the
two frontrunners that the cycling vote could swing the election one
way or the other.

By tomorrow morning, we’ll know whether they were right.

I understand that the letter went off - so perhaps they spoke to him.

The word on the street is that Ken is in the lead and Ms Jones can then
weave her magic on the roads of London in due course.

Not at all sure that the streets of Hull are all that important in London
elections.

Looks like Boris will make it in the end.

QUOTE:

Charmingly shambolic but ruthless and smart, Johnson is well-liked and
is often seen peddling his bicycle around the capital. Commentators
have questioned the wisdom of Labour's choice of candidate, given its
leader Ed Miliband is supposed to be rebuilding the party with new
faces and fresh ideas.

A YouGov opinion poll for the Evening Standard newspaper showed
Johnson out in front on 53 percent with Livingstone lagging behind on
47 percent. Results in London are expected on Friday evening.

Default Ben Swift out of Giro with fractured shoulder

QUOTE:
Team Sky's Ben Swift is out of the Giro d'Italia after suffering a
fractured right shoulder during a training ride. The circumstances of
the incident aren't clear, but Swift will miss the first Grand Tour of
the season to concentrate on his recovery.

"well that is my Giro over, had a very heavy crash out on the bike
today very disappointed not to be able to start. further checks
tomorrow," he tweeted earlier.

Jeremy Hunt has been called up to replace him, a state of events that
caused David Millar to comment, "Professional Cyclist Pity: Being
called up for the Giro less than 48hrs before the start."

Obviously plenty of people thought Millar was talking about himself,
as he later added, "It's not me. Hence the pity. Although if I didn't
like him as much it would definitely be a 'Professional Cyclist
Schadenfreude' moment."

Hunt will no doubt be feeling for his injured teammate but also
relishing his chance of riding in a Grand Tour. He comes into the
Giro, which he's ridden before, on the back of a solid set of
performances in the Classics. We'll update this story when we have
more details.
