Yes it was great! Hundreds turned up and once again no police. Riders
did a good job of corking. A taxi driver rammed a cyclist and several
impatient motorists came dangerously close to doing the same.

Here is a video of the ride:

And if there were no police, then the drivers can ram the obstructive
cyclists with impunity. Ha ha!!

And as there were no police then 'corking' was an illegal act.

"It was great...A taxi driver rammed a cyclist" Your not really a
cyclist are you Duhg, your more interested in the politics of discord
than you are in cycling.

So your objective of causing other people harm and distress was achieved was
it Doug?

Uhuh. So your statements elsewhere about "corking" being police
enforced were lies. Once again, you are caught lying, you lying old
turd.

Which, roughly translated, means "Buger, I've been caught out again".

Doug gurgled happily, sounding much like they were
saying:

Yes it was great! Hundreds turned up and once again no police. Riders
did a good job of corking.


Uhuh. Â*So your statements elsewhere about "corking" being police
enforced were lies. Â*Once again, you are caught lying, you lying old
turd.

Please feel free to expand, then, since quite a few of us seem to have
misunderstood.

I can't see any way to square the circle between "No police. Riders did a
good job of corking" and your comments in the other thread about how the
Police were doing the "corking" (otherwise known as directing traffic)
and how you'd obey traffic law if it was up to you, and it wasn't so
horribly inconvenient.
