Re: Pie in the sky?

Ban oxygen. All criminals in a study were found to be using it, therefore it must be immediately banned.

Re: So basically we're going to have to re-name everything.

Don't see many on the right trying to ban and reshape language, and policing what others can do. That's the left.

You know that just as well as i do.

Re: So basically we're going to have to re-name everything.

They'll be doing this all again every few years because far left people keep getting offended at everything and finding language they don't understand problematic.

Re: RIPA

This is strange, since even a murderer can be released, after a spent conviction, without revealing where the bodies are buried.

This means it qualifies to run the USA, but not give medical advice.

Re: I think all transport needs looking at.

It would require: Speedometers fitted on bikes, batteries to power such things, number plates and licences for enforcement, Government database, like the DVLA, but for bikes, to store such details. Non-starter from the beginning since these requirements have already forced all the cyclists off the road and into cars.

Re: I think all transport needs looking at.

""Lets hope the police prosecute every single car that passes a red light"

"Speeding too""

Agreed. Believe it or not but not all cyclists run red lights. Not all cars do either.

"As I pass in front of the local schools there is a 25 MPH speed limit when children are about. I slow down to 25 ... and I'm routinely overtaken by bicyclists."

This may surprise you, but there's no speed limit for bicycles in law. Try going even 15mph up a hill and you'll see why. Have you also considered that some of those cycling past you could be going to that school?

Re: I think all transport needs looking at.

A) Helmets are compulsory

D) Better enforcement of existing laws.

A) Helmet laws decrease the amount of cyclists in every region that adopts a mandatory helmet position - so the result is more cars on the road. They also don't have any solid evidence they do anything to protect in crashes, except minor cuts and scrapes, so again, it's a pointless requirement.

B) A lot of cyclists do have insurance already, since home insurance actually covers them, then there's coverage thrown in by a lot of companies when you already cover your car with them. Still, this is another fallacious argument from you since cyclists aren't going to cause much damage in a crash, whereas a car...

C) Registration...As what? With who? Do children on trikes need to be on this expensive database the Government will need to create? This idea has been flatly rejected by the Government before since it has no public benefit, and the cost would be large. It would require licencing and number plates on bikes to enforce, would massively decrease the amount of bikes on the road, and would indiscriminately lead to kids getting criminal records for riding their bike. No country does this, because frankly, it's stupid.

D) Better enforcement of existing laws...No one would object to that. Lets hope the police prosecute every single car that passes a red light, since that's where i expect you're going. Speeding too, since this is a massive killer by car drivers.

RE: Ringo Star

Cyclists kill less than 2 people a year on the road, so get some perspective. Cars kill hundreds...

More people end up in hospital because of cars, especially the racer types that do their fast n furious stuff. I'm so tired of all these anti-scooter people. You were probably against mobile phones too when they came out.

Fixed it for you!

RE: GlenP

I've seen a few of these annoying things too, and again, always on the pavement (I'm aware they're illegal on the roads here, but they're also illegal on the pavement).

I won't jump on the usual bandwagon of the Daily Mail and Express, etc, since i'm a cyclist, and just existing sends a minority of motorists into a murderous rage. It's gotten so bad in the last 3 months i've invested in one of those bike cameras and forwarded almost 10 incidents to West Mids Police...They are yet to do anything...And so with zero enforcement this will continue to get worse, and these dangerous scooters will continue to proliferate.

Re: Alphabet is evil

Well, the interesting thing there is that Trump isn't a Republican. He's a disaffected Democrat supporter/donor. It's one of the things that's been so strange about the Republican party embracing him and endorsing him. He bills himself as a businessman, not a politician, and the people clearly like that.

Even here in the UK, the opinion of the public towards politicians is that "they're all corrupt". How do you change that? Elect a reality tv star/businessman apparently.

The next 2 weeks will be interesting to watch as it all heats up.

Re: China?

At least there won't be any idiots up there to complain about the made up effects of 5G on their simple minds, and their health.

Where's the tinfoil hat icon?

RE: James

It's strange that some people lefties see it acceptable to use the term "gammon" as an insult, and a way to discredit what people say, merely by insulting their skin colour. Especially since it's blatantly racist. If "Uncle Tom" and "Coconut" are racist, then stop calling middle aged white people Gammon.

Re: Ban all Homonyms!

"They are also trying to redefine "racist"/"racism"/"prejudice" so that minorities are somehow unable, by definition, to be "racists" or "prejudiced"."

Yeah, that one has been going on for a while. Racism now includes a "power" element, so only white people can be racist, even when the most powerful man in the world was previously a black man... MLK must be spinning in his grave at the modern black person, fighting for segregation and special privileges.
