Tea party activist in racist email about obama shocker
http://thedailywh.at/2011/04/17/this-is-all-kinds-of-wrong-of-the-day-3/
Reached by telephone and asked if she thought the email was appropriate, Davenport said, "Oh, come on! Everybody who knows me knows that I am not a racist. It was a joke. I have friends who are black. Besides, I only sent it to a few people--mostly people I didn't think would be upset by it."
fucking hell -
Oliver, don't spoil my outrage.
It's not so much the content that annoys me, but the presentation and the non-stop conjecture. Are cyclists not allowed on the road? I don't know but he says he looked before stepping into the road but was hit by a 'silent' cyclist 'probably travelling 20-30mph' who seemed to be 'wearing headphones and listening to music'.
At best there is a very lazy editor at that paper.

The Mail piece also includes this
*A few days later I received the following reply: ‘Thank you for your request for compensation from the Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme 2008. We have looked carefully at the information sent to us . . . and I am sorry that I cannot make a full or reduced award because paragraph 11 of **the Scheme excludes the payment of compensation for injuries caused by a vehicle *unless the vehicle was used in a deliberate attempt to cause injury.’
That has nothing to do with cyclists per se. Why is it in the article, besides allowing the writer to feel even more victimised and hard done by?

His argument was that cycling was not permitted on this street. Cycling bans obviously only work in extreme circumstances.

Welcome to the whole of the UK press. You used to get extremely stupid 'opinion pieces' on this topic in the Guardian. All I was saying was that this was actually much more balanced than the usual tripe of this kind.

That is definitely an 'alleged' punch, rather than an 'actual' punch.
