Cyclists: The scourge of our streets? Anti-cyclist program on Channel 5

[editor]

Yeh. Well, since you seem to believe women hacks won't produce misogynistic shite on the specious grounds they're women it needed to be said.

Done much work as a journalist, have you? How long you been a member of the NUJ?

 

[Pickman's model]

You cannot hope to bribe or twist
(thank God!) the British journalist
But seeing what they'll do
Unbribed there's no occasion to

 

[Saul Goodman]

A man telling a woman that she's misogynistic seems a little strange, but I guess you know best, eh?

The woman hating woman? Thank heavens there was a man like you to put her straight.

He didn't say the writer is misogynistic, he said the article is.

That Torygraph article is misogynistic filth. Thanks for sharing.

Do you need to be a journalist or member of the nuj to point out the bleeding obvious?

You claimed that, "The thing with journos is they write what they're paid to write, with very few exceptions."

If you know anything about journalism and journalists, you'll know there's plenty who write what they want to write, myself included.

Anyway you're boring the fucking arse off me with your twisted clueless pedantry so I'm off.

Plenty. Right. As a proportion of your actual journalists what's that? 1/10? 1/20? 1/50? If you know anything about journalism you'll know there are many, many reporters following orders for every journalist free to write what they want confident it will find its way into print.

have a look back through the thread next time you're round these parts and look how much effort has had to be exerted to get you to post even the slenderest fig-leaf of evidence for your claims. Articles more than a decade auld, for example. Asking you to back up assertions isn't pedantry and it's very telling you resort to that auld canard like your claims should be accepted at face value despite their dubious veracity.

Watching it now. So one-sided.

You wouldn't have expected that from the title, would you?

Jesus wept humans can be vile, I'm only halfway through and I'm seriously thinking of going down to Surrey and beat that revolting cunt to death with his own shotgun.

Transport discussions were much more measured when Bungle was still a member.

There are easier ways to do away with someone using a shotgun

I watched Generation War with a joint and a bottle of Rioja.

I can't believe you didn't.

I can't believe you didn't.

I can think of about a million better ways to spend an hour than watching twats on bikes.

Cyclist attempts to murder 4 year old boy.

If he was in a car he'd have been much more effective.

I didn't watch it. I went out for a bike ride instead.

On the pavement without lights?

The programme featured Box Hill, yet i did not see it mention the tacks being scattered on the road to deter cyclists. It was a big issue a while back; dont know if it is
still happening. Are saboteurs risking the lives of country cyclists with drawing pin traps?

so few cyclists think like that, fortunately

 

[ElizabethofYork]

On the pavement without lights?

Of course. Sounding my airhorn as I pass pedestrians.

I'd expect nothing less, Liz.

Anyone care to married to Dave from Essex (who was wearing a wedding ring)?

Not as satisfying though.

Looks like one of those roid-raged nutters has directed her rage at the wrong person.

Lord Winston demands licence plates for bikes after cyclist kicks him

Scientist and TV presenter Lord Robert Winston has called for cyclists to have licence plates as he told of being attacked by a woman he had spoken to about riding on the pavement.
He said he was now considering introducing a private members' bill to force cyclists to have licence plates.

Could be a step in the right direction.

In other news, that fella who knocked over the woman, after making absolutely no attempt to avoid her has been ordered to pay her just over £4k in damages... And £100k court costs.
Cyclist ordered to pay £105,000 for knocking over woman who crossed road looking at phone
