Anyone else find it strangely coincidental that a Tory Baroness was nearly hit by a cyclist (the date isn't specified, but I'll guess that it was maybe a week ago, for argument's sake) and then, almost immediately afterwards, the City Of London Police spend a day ticketing cyclists?
I'd also like to ask if Baroness Sharples has any independent witnesses to this alleged incident? Perhaps there is some CCTV footage of the altercation that could prove conclusively that the cyclist did, indeed, cross a red light and that this isn't merely the ramblings of a mad old hag that seems the type to stab your football with a screwdriver if it accidentally ends up in her garden?
Surely, there's no chance that she tried to dart into the road as the lights changed from red to green and was almost hit by a cyclist as he began to pull away?
