On a more serious note than my last 'I hope he need a poo when he's in the bath' post, his casual, dehumanising attitude to cyclists is very dangerous. He is sending a message out to other drivers that we are not worthy of consideration and as Tynan's post has highlighted this attitude can lead to real tragedy. Such flippant stereotyping engenders a carte blanche to people of the same persuasion that racism,sexism etc are okay. Is this mindset worthy of publication in a national newspaper? No. So some kind of retraction is the least that is required. HYFU cos he's just a nob is not enough for me.
