"The only good cyclists are dead ones" - Richard Nye

Reported

Standard prejudice test innit, replace the word "cyclist" with "gays" "blacks" or "members of Mr Nye's family"".

This one looks to be more entertaining than the "Campaign to stop cyclists jumping red lights" facebook page which is frankly pretty boring because not enough people care about it to make it worth trolling. Also Richard Nye is a named individual, and I love a good witch-hunt, me.

This bloke needs to be skinned alive and buggered.

WAC.

The only good Richard Nye is a skinned and buggered one.

This has nothing to do with wanting Richard Nye to be skinned and buggered. I would never joke about such a thing. People have misunderstood my use of phrase.

Dan, your words on la FB are oh so very true.

This bloke's special.

How many London families are grieving a lost loved one through a cycling incident right now? 11 so far this year isn't it?

He is only a cunt if he actually meant what he wrote. My gut feeling is that he is just another mediocre journalist who doesn't possess the intelligence to understand the repercussions of his writing or to empathise with the reader.

I can visualise his thought processes now. Moron.

He's a no mark, coffee-breathed hack - scratching out a living in some god-forsaken local rag for the under-sexed, curtain twitching housewives of Richmond.

Guy's a twunt of the highest order.

Anyone remember what we did with James Martin?

And Eamonn Holmes?

They're both a pair of cunts.

I don't much care for BNP members either.

Hehe, not too sure how he can claim that the phrase has been misunderstood. Seems pretty clear-cut to me. I think the 'written in jest' defence would serve him better...

This is a good point btw

I think the "hands up, I said something stupid without thinking it through and I sincerely apologise to anybody who I have caused hurt or offence to especially the grieving families of dead cyclists" defence would work quite well.

Anyone remember what we did with James Martin?

Is he under EEI's patio?

Can't decide whether to ignore this scumbag or write a stern email to him...

I like your words youramericanlover.
