You really need to twitter ...Another splendid post. You really need to twitter or whatever to get this out more.<br /><br />Two comments to amplify what I think you're saying:<br /><br />1. Chris Boardman is normally spot on. See this http://rdrf.org.uk/2013/04/27/get-britain-cycling-is-chris-boardman-right-to-be-angry-at-the-pms-response/ for example. He is entitled to take a gamble if anyone is, but really, he should have known how long the odds were against him in this case. Maybe it would have gone out anyway. Also, don't forget that we as licence payers pay for this shit to go out..<br />2. The "work hard and buy a car" garbage. motorists are heavily subsidised and DO NOT pay their way. See the post here http://rdrf.org.uk/2012/12/31/the-true-costs-of-automobility-external-costs-of-cars/ for example. Meanwhile, just about everybody can afford a car but can't afford to get somewhere to live, let alone buy it.<br /><br />Dr Robert Davis, Chair Road Danger Reduction ForumAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
