Nothing will ever change without Strict Liability, and the CTC & LCC should be campaigning relentlessly for it.
You can placate the Daily Mail lot by loudly promoting the strict liability for cyclists when they hit pedestrians (which you absolutely would need to do anyway) and you could probably swing the measure past drivers by packaging it up with something tempting so it doesn't feel like "the war on the motorist" - e.g. higher motorway speed limits in return for stricter liability laws.
Cycling in countries with these laws is a world away from the UK.
