Queeny has been throwing a few garden bashes this week for the likes of Clive and his ilk. This combined with preparations for her upcoming celebrations means The Mall around the Palace is now a no-go area for cyclists. There is a militant group of enforcers ensuring cyclists dismount and if you chose to ignore them, as I obviously did yesterday, you will be chased and eventually flagged down by the Old Bill. If you think you can get away with cycling on the pavement then you are also mistaken. It's almost as though cyclists and pedestrians cannot navigate shared space together.
But to top it all off. Every few minutes a motor cavalcade of about 10 police bikes and a Range Rover with one toffee nosed, in-bred, fuckwit dignitary tries to force it's way through all these morons and life endangering cyclists, past St James Palace and up St James Street. Bearing in mind that the traffic in the area is proper horrorshow due to the road closures. These fuckers are causing so much mayhem. I have one or two words for you. Get the fuck out and walk. You are not going anywhere, it is easier to shoot you now you have drawn all this attention to yourself and are stuck in traffic for 10 mins. No one knows who you are. Stick a baseball cap on and a pair of trainers and get the fuck on with it.
If this is a sign of things to come for the Olympics then God help us. And no. I won't move or give way. This is my City. Where I was born, work, live and breathe. London belongs to me So FUCK YOU!
Rant over :)
