In the news

LFGSS is a great place, where people from all walks of life can chat about bikes...

I'm calling bullshit...

oh, ratty..

i'm sure zac will make sure the money saved will be set aside to ensure london's soon to be built garden bridge is wheelchair-accessible.

That's not true. Several drivers have been convicted of murder in the last few years for, well, murdering bike riders who were not police officers.

This driver seems to have confessed:

There was one more, too, I think. There are also several cases in other countries.

There are undoubtedly many cases in which drivers don't receive the sentence they deserve, but it's not true to say that 'justice' is only applied in cases involving police officers.

fair enough - poetic licence aside, there does seem to be a dgaf attitude from much of the gendarmes / CPS unless it relates to one of their own.

/i base this lazy presumption entirely on my own anecdata / poorly realised agenda etc.

and yes, fuck the tories and their enablers. sky-high.

Meanwhile, the satisfactory team....

how can anyone look at that shower of mendacious shits and not be overcome with a wave of fist clenching, teeth gnashing repugnance?

Ha! I did say "...and other things". Really should have dropped the bikes bit though...

Osborne's latest budget has not done him much good. His whole shtick is being economically responsible, but he can't even hit his own targets.

(apologies for linking to a partisan publication, it was the first thing that came up)

However the worse Osborne does, the more likely we are to get Bojo for PM...

saw an ossifer on his back, knocked off his bike,poor fella, at oval yesterday "Ossifer down", red car was next to him, not sure if it hit him, no blood visual, quite a big police presence though, hope he's ok
edit: just read the relevant article, fuck me, it was that guy, shit
lot of shit in that region on Wednesday, something kicked orf down in Brixton by the hsbc later on, big presence, and in New Cross a fella got dragged out of his Merc for failing to stop right in front of me

looks, feels nothing

Not even #awkwardboner for Ms May?

mindbleach

don't go projecting your own fantasies on me

I feel grimy now

Funding for driverless cars and Google paying more tax?

https://www.gov.uk/government/news/driverless-cars-technology-receives-20-million-boost

Google not on the list of consortium members.

ah, that'll be my skepticism failing me again then

And yet no mentions of driverless cycles

...tsss google. Uwot8?

< pedant> technically, driverless cars are a Google^x project, not a Google one </ pedant>

I mean, your point stands, but we must get which part of Alphabet is doing what right mustn't we?

Good.

I got a letter in the post yesterday from this cunt with some wanky american scare tactic leaflet that was all sepia tone photos of corbyn and khan with a threat that they'll bankrupt me and I'll lose money with all the scary bits highlighted in red for danger.

he didn't actually have anything to say why he would be a better option, just that I should vote for him because the others are scary and clearly not to be trusted unlike he who resorts to childish fear-mongering attack politics to get what he wants because he's got about as much substance to him as a fart in the breeze.

shitstaines

yes bruv

classy.

Let's establish a modus vivendi. If anyone endorses a link they post - then fair play to criticise them. If someone links something because they think it's interesting - then let's debate the thing. Linking a thing because it's a way to start a conversation - let's accept that for what it is. Deal?

No deals.

Wild West.
