Default A victory for Alex but Met Police are off-target

=====Quote=====
CTC is delighted by the news that the Crown has dropped its
prosecution of Alex Paxton, a cyclist fined for stopping just beyond a
cycle box for his own safety. Alex?s case was supported by donors to
the Cyclists? Defence Fund (CDF), which is now formally linked to CTC.
CDF welcomes donations to help other cyclists fighting injustice like
Alex. Meanwhile, CTC condemned reports that Metropolitan Police
officers were set targets to fine cyclists but a letter to us from the
Head of Traffic Policing has said this was not the case. This week,
however, around 2,500 officers were deployed at junctions in the
capital to hand out fines to offending drivers and cyclists alike. But
they also stopped cyclists behaving legally, advising some to wear
helmets and hi-viz.

Oh dear. I wonder if that was just a display of individual ignorance,
or if they'd been told to do it.

So the CTC regards it as "unjust" to make road-users to obey the law.

As long as we know.

The police were outrageous.

Fancy giving out sensible advice to nutcases.

It was on this newsgroup that I met legend and warrior Peter Turtill,
slayer of trolls and champion of the disabled... I salute you sir.

It was here on this newsgroup that I met a beast of a troll called
Anthony Bournes, a racist, gay-bashing, naturist with a fondness to
have sex with handicapped children. A man who spends most of his life
posting to a couple of dead newsgroups on the internet, talking to
himself via his many sock puppets and having fantasies about having sex
with me, Peter Turtill or with disabled children. A nasty unhappy
creature is Anthony Bournes, a low creature that infests Andover and
the real life equivalent of Golum in Lord of Rings, except more
pathetic. His "precious" is not his wife or daughter, who I am told
hate him, but something small that he yanks out and rubs the moment
someone mentions me, Turtill or disabled children.

Anthony Bournes has given probation officers, the police and CPS a real
headache in his obsession, and it is surprising someone has not
sectioned him yet under the mental health act. Perhaps one day this
mental case will be locked up for his own safety with his stunted
"precious" to keep him company.

I have asked is it worth going after this pathetic creature called
Anthony Bournes through the courts. He is old, mentally disabled and
nothing more than worthless trash, not worth wasting any more of my
life on. So I will not waste any more time on this piece of rubbish,
however I will post on h2009.com a full article on this troll called
Anthony Bournes, so that Peter Turtill can post a link to it to warn
other people about this Bournes vermin.

To Peter Turtill. It has been an honour knowing you. Likewise, Bournes
has tried to paint a negative picture of you, but your strength and
honour shines forth like a blazing sun and chases away any of the
shadows that the troll has tried to paint you as. Again, a small
dedication to you Peter sir shall be made on h2009.com to mark a true
disabled champion. I know that you will go from strength to strength.
You owned Anthony Bournes and Derek Hornby, and as your enemies rot and
die in their own decay you will go from strength to strength, in a
long, happy and successful life.

To the Haverhill Town Council. You got owned by the disabled today in
court. Gordon Mussett, you are an arrogant fool, forcing terminally ill
disabled elderly ladies to go to court after your council discriminates
against them, and in which you played a significant part in, you are
inhuman and without any honour sir. That disabled lady owned you, and
perhaps if you ever suffer terminal cancer you will remember that brave
disabled lady, because she does not deserve the sort of treatment you
gave to her, she does not deserve to be dying of cancer. If there is
any justice in the world I hope that the disabled lady beats the
cancer, and instead you experience disability and this cancer, and
suffer discrimination to see how you like it.

I started posting here in this newsgroup highlighting the
discrimination of disabled people by Haverhill Town Council. I now with
the disabled victory in the courts against Haverhill Town Council today
now end my time in this newsgroup.

I believe Uenet to be all but dead, mostly now infested with
the many accounts of the troll Anthony Bournes.

I'm trying to find out where you pulled the "unjust" quote from.

"quote"?

PS: If the CTC *don't* regard it as unjust to enforce traffic law, what
on Earth are they whinging about?

PPS: Did you miss the word "injustice" used by the CTC to describe
enforcement of the law on red traffic lights?

It was a consequential action following the motorist's occupation of the cycle box. Why plod didn't have a word with the motorist is the mystery here.
