Has anyone ever actually said that cyclists don't pay Road Tax
(which has other names though that is the one in common use)?

After all, some cyclists might pay Road Tax in respect of motor
vehicles. But they don't pay it in respect of bikes, do they?

I propose we introduce a Road Fund based on the fourth power of
axle loading as that is the internationally accepted metric for
road damage,

This means if a typical 10kg pedal cycle commands £1 per year a
typical 1000kg car will command £10million per year.

Bring it up with your MP (when you're old enough to vote).

Hook, line, sinker, rod and copy of Angling Times.

Your parents shouldn't have let you get so close to the river's edge.
Especially at your tender age.

That makes no sense. Can you explain?

You aren't mature enough to be allowed out close to water.

It was so obvious it went over Mike Collins' head which is more used to
labyrinthine logic.
