CS9 Kensington to Brentford public consultation closes Oct 31st

The war of attrition between those who oppose the Cycle Superhighway
and those who support it has become a police matter. Julian Pavey
posted a spoof video on Twitter of a rocket attack on the pavement
area outside Outsider Tart, in which a missile is seen blowing up a
row of mobikes. The proprietor of the cafe, David Lesniak, who is
notoriously against the cycle track reported him for committing 'hate
crime' and posted:

'If the target of this video, which has been posted on a local public
forum, was your home, how would you respond? @tfl @theJeremyVine
@RuthCadbury @RuthMayorcas @willnorman @SadiqKhan Seriously, it’s time
to call off the trolls #CS9 #chiswick #StopTheHate'

Conservative candidates Joanna Biddolph, Patrick Barr and Chiswick
Riverside Conservatives 'liked' his tweet. The author of the video
then tweeted that it was 'a bit of fun over mobikes and CS9', which
was 'liked' by Labour candidate Ruth Mayorcas, notoriously a supporter
of CS9, and a few others, and so it escalated.

Despite apologising, I understand that the police are talking about
cautioning Julian, which has resulted in a backlash against Redesign
CS9 and David Lesniak on the W4 chat Forum, with comments like 'shame
on you' (David) and 'That is absolutely absurd. The video showed
missiles destroying mobikes outside David's caff. This was, fairly
obviously, Julian's imagining how David would like to do to the
mobikes. How anyone could report that to the police defeats me. And
then wasting police time with this is nuts'.

But as far as the police were concerned, they seem to be leaning
towards the view that an offence was committed.
