Someone else has spotted an elephant

An outspoken Tory peer has launched an astonishing attack on cyclists,
claiming they are "longing" to be run over so they can get motorists
into trouble.
"On three mornings, driving up the A3 in the Balham and Clapham area, I
have seen cyclists put their cycles up against the central
reservation—not the line where the bus lane is—stand in the middle of
the road with a camera and defy you to run them down while they
photograph you doing it.

"That is what they are longing for."

If you read to near the end of the story there is this little gem:

"Lord James, who also called for a ban on "mooning", previously made
waves with an extraordinary speech in the House of Lords when he claimed
to have been contacted by a mysterious 'Foundation X' wanting to invest
huge amounts of money in the UK."

It's quite funny when the 'kill cyclists' lobby have to rely on
fruitcakes to champion their cause lol

It's quite apt, as the cause is to deal with fruitcake cyclists. Fight fire
with fire, etc.......
