  • CSH2 has some appalling road layouts, it's reasonable to criticise Boris when the inevitable fatality takes place, but it's simply not true to say boris is blamed for every death, anywhere, that makes no sense, nobody's done that.
    There's protests against Boris after deaths, there's a protest at the recent deaths outside TfL next week, there's a online petition against him referring to the recent deaths, the papers are full of cycling groups blaming him after every death. We do not know the full circumstances for each death until there has been an inquest. Yet each death is immediately used for political campaining against Boris and it's disgusting.

    Like I said, its right he gets some flack for raising expectations about cycling and safety and CS. But he is not the messiah, he is not going to keep you safe when a lorry turns left, he is not the 'only one' with the power to keep Londoners on our streets safe. Anyone he thinks he is, and signs up to a campaign saying he is, is sorely deulded and likely to end up us another statistic.
