"carefully".
(3) You develop colour blindness, especially when trying to differentiate
between red and green.
(4) You start to believe that obvious aids to cycling safety like
high-visibility clothing and helmets are actually dangerous.
(5) You have joined the CTC.
(6) You bizarrely think other road users can see you in the dark with no
lights on your bike.
(7) You feel a rush to the head when fuel duty increases are announced in
the budget.
(8) You have pictures of Jenny Jones and Lance Armstrong in your living
room.
(9) You own or are considering owning a pair of video glasses.

Mr Benn is just trying to demonise an "out group" to avoid the
cognitive dissonance brought on by the vile behaviour of himself and
his friends. It's rather sad.

Hello Porker - talking of being "sad" - what's your emotional state knowing
that your "very special" case is now not going ahead?

I really do wish you would tell us why. Surely you could have entered the
witness box - you need not have lied. Or is it that which was worrying you?

Porky Chapman bragged about the fact that he was taking someone he
had accused of harassing him through the court system.
All of a sudden his court case is off. Was it because Porky was scared of
being cross-examined and having to answer questions under oath?
Or did the CPS sling the case out because of Porky's "evidence"?
Why won't he tell us?

In what "vile behaviour" do you say he indulges?
