Even sillier than you usually manage.

Britain in a few years due to immigration?

Not a chance.

Agreed.
Why is it that there are so many sad doom and gloom posters in this
newsgroup and uk rec cycling!



There is an election coming up and they want you to vote for BN^W UKIP.

UKIP have some excellent policies;

Pity nowhere near enough will ever vote for them
for them to ever be able to implement any of them.

10.2 We believe that there needs to be a better balance of rights and
responsibilities for pedal cyclists, with too much aggressive abuse of red
lights, pedestrian crossings and a lack of basic safety and road courtesy.

Easy to waffle like that with no mention of how to do it better.

10.6 UKIP would consult on the desirability of

Why didn't they get off their lard arses and do that already ?

minimum third party liability insurance cover for cyclists - a simple
annual flat rate registration ‘Cycledisc’, stuck to the bicycle frame, to
cover damage to cars and others, which are currently unprotected.

Even for little kids ? Barking mad.

Even sillier than they usually manage.

and deter dangerous cyclist behaviour.

Even sillier than they usually manage.

mandatory, and be funded in schools or via local authorities.

So much for their claim to be for less govt.

UKIP supports the campaign work of national cycling organisations.

10.9 Local authorities should be given additional powers to enforce a
‘cyclists dismount’ or ‘no cycling’ regulation where there are safety
concerns – such as on busy roundabouts, junctions or bus lanes, or where
the road would be too narrowed by cycle lanes and cause unacceptable
delays to traffic

So much for their claim to be for less govt.

Just more utterly mindless polly bull****/lies.
