Default 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.

A few branches as seen in the video hardly constitute a trap. Just be glad
the Covid vigilantes didn't string a wire across the path.

Why have the police paid them a visit then, if their obstacles were harmless?

Routine inquiry no doubt. I very much doubt the two ladies are going to get
prosecuted. After all, twigs and branches like those fall from trees all the
time and block paths without harm to users.

But they admitted putting the branches there, so they obviously didn't
fall from the trees.
Anything else you want to make up?

Yes - you often get rocks falling from the sky, usually off motorways bridges by thugs like these people.

Doesn't explain the rocks though either.

Guilt and regret, usually.


Nice one... I'd forgotten about the regret. Yes, that usually included
among your feelings when you've done something that
know you shouldn't have.

Especially after the police have given you a word or two of advice.

I'm sure that you've regretted some things in your life too, it's a
human thing. I know that I have.
I regret not burying the bodies deeper.

The degree of harm is the same or didn't you understand that?

Do you think the two pensioners are going to get prosecuted?
