Entirely unashamed anti car propaganda, and the more the better.

That's a frequently trotted out argument but it's wrong. Just because something is licensable doesn't mean it's not a right. For example many US states (although a declining number) require firearms licences, despite gun ownership being a right.

I get it, we'll take your car from your cold dead hands.

 

[Spymaster]

You've given up arguing. You did a long time ago tbf.

If you play as badly as you argue it's no wonder you're sitting down. Enjoy your cucumber sandwiches.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Just look at it. How can anyone possibly see a city like this and not want theirs to be the same?

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Meanwhile, in the countryside...

 

[Spymaster]

If you play as badly as you argue ...

I wasn’t arguing. If I wanted to do that I’d make an effort. This is a game I play with you. See how many keystrokes I can get out of you for the fewest of my own.

Meanwhile, in the countryside...

So you think taking the piss out of a wanton and furious cyclist is out of order but you fully condone a farmer knocking a bloke over with the bucket of a digger?

I guess the farmer just hadn’t seen him. He really should have given the digger a bit more room. If only he’d been wearing hiviz and a helmet...

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

The changes we need in our cities aren’t even that complicated:

Condoning attempted murder. Shameful. I bet maomao agrees with you too.

That sort of thing is being done all over the U.K. (I remember it being done in Epsom, in Grimsby and Cleethorpes, in Edinburgh, and other places) I spent time in when I lived there.

He’d kicked the digger. And was on a road. Clearly it was his fault. The poor farmer probably felt threatened.

It’s being done in odd places as a token gesture by various councils. We need more...

I'm not surprised that someone like you thinks this. As I said, maomao will think the same.

 

[maomao]

Yes. Funny and well-deserved.

 

[Spymaster]

Yes. Funny and well-deserved.

I knew I could bring you round to our way of thinking.

 

[maomao]

I knew I could bring you round to our way of thinking.

That was always my way of thinking.

Nonsense.

It's not a digger and has no bucket.

 

[Cid]

Car drivers always pretend they have the interests of the farmer at heart, but all they care about is being able to drive fast on the roads those farmers need, endangering their animals. They know nothing of agricultural vehicles.

It's what you expect from Tories I suppose.

 

[kabbes]

It's as stupid to pretend that speeding roadies on country lanes pose no threat or cause no damage as it is stupid to pretend that a lot of car drivers aren't aggressive arseholes behind the wheel on those same roads. A pox on all their houses.

Holy crap. There must be some interesting "previously" to this

“Move your car”

“No”

“OK then...”

Yes. There must be a reason the bloke's parked on the farm lane. It looks like he's blocked it on purpose and the farmer has fucked him off, but that hasn't come out of nowhere. I wouldn't be surprised if they're related

 

[teuchter]

I reckon they are both car owners which would explain the kind of behaviour we see.

I've never seen a non car owner knock someone over with a farm vehicle.

It’s pretty common in the countryside - tourists from the cities think of farm access gates as convenient parking spaces.

He's half way down the track though. Well inside the gate when the fun starts.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

heh, seems this was near Barnard Castle, so maybe he thought it was Dom's motor?

 

[Cid]

Ah, on review that’s not a track - minor road by the looks of things. The gate opens onto it. About 36 seconds in.

 

[Spymaster]

Be interested to know how much that ended up costing the farmer.

The insurers of the car will be going for the jugular and I expect he'll get his collar felt too.
