Speak Your Brain - Defend Your Honour

If you haven't seen it already, check out this thread over on MT.

The writer of the article is urging people to make an online complaint to the BBC (link given) about comments made by Joanne Good on Monday morning's BBC London breakfast show (radio).

She spewed a lot of anti-cyclist poison, and it would be good if she got at least a slap on the wrist from her bosses.

Done

The BBC can do better than people like that

she sounds like a cretin.

for example, Robert Elms is on the same station from 12 till 3 and is a keen cyclist and cycle commuter, you don't hear him attacking other road users in such a vitriolic and unbalanced manner.

Done.

I found JoAnne Good's ill informed comments on cyclists offensive and insulting. Cycling in London is dangerous enough as it is without having BBC presenters telling listeners that cyclists being knocked down by lorries should "let that be a lesson".

Would Ms Good care to personally tell that to the families of the nine cyclists killed by lorries in London so far this year?

If anyone should show some humility it is Ms Good whose craven and cavalier attitude to human life is despicable.

sorry, I tried but I genuinely couldn't listen to more than ten minutes of that. I spend my life trying to avoid that side of life. She sounds like she needs a good hard slap like so many of those kind of radio presenters. When she refers to Bernie Ecclestone as "that little man" you know she just loves being a total cunt and thinks she sounds ballsy and cool doing it. So I think anyone who listens to her views and nods sagely is beyond redemption anyway.

I fuckin sen them a bullet innit, wastemen

(I have also complained to the BBC about this broadcast)

'we are breeding a very bold generation of cyclists'

True, and in my mind this is only a positive thing. Also true that many of them are irritating, but at least they're irritating and alive. I'm glad that cyclists are asserting their place on the road, it's a shame that some people don't recognise that change must come on the roads as well as in other areas of life.

Done.

Here she is:

Bit worried that these things turn into mass hysteria, with people listening with the expectation of being offended. Who is this woman? I've never heard of her, and she's on a show with Paul Ross, a man who also makes a living selling crap on shopping channels. Cyclists should be above getting in a fight with these people.

anyone should be above getting into a fight with her.

just complain to the BBC, don't enter into any petty bullshit personal attacks.

this isn't the right situation for vigilante behaviour

Done.

Done.

She will probably apologise tomorrow

done.

Done.
GRRRRR!!!!!

done and done.

You've got to be fucking kidding me!! Have you heard it? My complaint is that this show is moribund. Sheeeeeeze, 20mins I've listened to and I'm contemplating bathing with my cunting toaster. She's fucking watless fool. I pity the the infirmed that have this pipped in.

*Paul Ross – And how long was he in hospital for?
Caller – About two, maybe three weeks
JoAnne – Well thank you very much for that Graham, let that be a lesson.*

Is it just me or is this the coldest, most heartless, statement ever!
Shes not someones mum is she?

Broken your legs son. No I havent time to take you to the hospital. Let that be a lesson to you, dont climb trees.
