Women 'laid traps for cyclists'

Former parish councillor and a retired teacher, both 62, are spoken to
by police amid claims they blocked a woodland path with rocks and branches.

The pair, former parish councillor Anna Hacket-Pain, and retired teacher
Wendy McLachlan, both 62, suggested the youngster was breaking lockdown
rules by travelling to the beauty spot, and trespassing on private land.

He argued that he only lived a mile away, that they had no more right to
be there than him, and that as residents of different households they
should not have been out together.

These are the sort of people that put out drawing pins that injure animals and in extreme cases, lob bricks off motorway bridges. Scum of the earth. Well done to the police.

Have a care. There is such a thing as libel. You are not immune from
action in respect of it just because you are sitting at your keyboard.

I totally agree with him. The perpetrators are now on record (video
evidence) of admitting hiding rocks that could easily cause a rider to
injure himself.
Bring on the libel case.

What made me laugh was the comment "two respectable ladies". LOL
Two "respectable ladies" who practise dangerous covert sabotage.
Two *unrespected* hooligans I would say.

They get a right slating in the comments as well for a change in the usual anti-cyclist Daily Wail. "Curtain twitchers" being one of the polite ones.

Asked about the incident, Mrs McLachlan refused to comment. I wonder
what that could point to?

(ps. Thanks for answering my 'No Comment' post elsewhere.)

Guilt and regret, usually.
