Mr Dunne is a well known lefty liberal - the ones responsible for the mess this country is in at the moment with forced multi-culturalism and a rights without responsibility culture. He's also a cyclist. For some reason, the two seem to go together. They believe in equality, as long as someone else is paying.

No no no no no no no, yes. Or. It was the one where she waited perfectly positioned on her side of the road, waiting for all traffic, including the cyclist that she had made careful observation of, to clear the location before she turned right into a side road. Unfortunately the cyclist completely lost his mind and increased his speed to exceed 30mph, as he did so he lost control of the bicycle and crossed over onto the wrong side of the road. There he hit the car involved from the nearside by cycling in a wide arc across to his right and back to his left to strike the bonnet of the car over the nearside wing. Throughout this manouever he maintained his speed of over 30mph and startled the poor dear with his excess speed and reckless riding. Then he wrote a long and apologetic letter pointing out the error of his ways. Any suggestion that the reports of the incident were more consistent with a blind bint turning across the path of a cyclist that she failed to see is a vile and unworthy suggestion. |
