In the news

We need more officers like you in the Met.

No chance, there's always been too many crooks and ne'er do wells in the Met for my liking.

This typical and entirely predictable response is covered in full in my blog 'What the conspirators don't want you to know, and how they go about ensuring that you don't know it.' (For security reasons, it's not on-line.)

That's my favourite type of blog...

Channel 4 News takes Nigel Farage to Bulgaria

Edit: forgot to add - they brought him back too, unfortunately.

Nigel Farage may be UKIP leader, but he's got a lot more integrity than most of parliament and of 90% of the cabinet

Nigel Farage may be UKIP leader, but he's got a lot more integrity than most of parliament and more than almost 13 per cent of convicted paedophiles

Well done Nigel...

LOL: "More than almost."

So. Not Velocio. Someone owes me a tenner.

Cycling should be on the school curriculum

Front page of the Times is hailing it's "Cities fit for cycling" campaign as being about to deliver a huge success for cyclists, it then lists the main goals, including fully segregated cycling routes, which I have to admit I had an immediate reaction against- I just don't think that partial segregation will improve matters.

The rest looked ok, I suppose.

Fully segregated lanes to me just makes me think that when theyre not there and your on the road drivers will treat you equally as bad if not worse

I'm inclined to agree.

20years ago pedestrians were fully segregated from traffic with guard rail.
And now we're ripping it all down after a national acknowledgement that it causes/enables drivers to drive faster with the belief that the roadway is theirs and there is no chance of a ped in the way.

I can't help but feel that putting cyclists in a "special area" is not addressing the root issues here, and is in effect papering over the cracks of car centric hostile public spaces and highways.

Yep, I reckon properly integrating cyclists with the other traffic is a better idea.

And being proud to have the hardest driving test in the world, that has to be re-taken every 3 years would be an ambition, also.

Segregation is one recommendation. There are many others in the report

I'd say "utter cunt" instead of "UKIP leader" although I guess they're somewhat synonymous.

I agree with you though - at least he appears to have some conviction and he does occasionally make some good points.

I like having him involved in debates - it keeps the others on their toes.
