Tell that to the people who are terrorised by cyclists on a daily basis. -- Dave - intelligent enough to realise that a push bike is a kid's toy, not a viable form of transport.

Here we go again, this time it's the old 'cyclists aren't as dangerous as motorist' so they can do what they like ploy. Doug hasn't used that since, well at least a few hours ago. Come on Doug, think of some new rubbish to post, instead of the same old meaningless crud. Marie

Some chance, you could make a book of Doug's promises that he has failed to deliver. Hey Doug, have you finished 'Vince's Report' yet. Marie

It should be self- evident what a democracy should be and how far short of that ours really is. As to my preferred style of government it is the less the better. What amazes me is that someone like you can be so complacent and compliant. -- UK Radical Campaigns. http://www.zing.icom43.net One man's democracy is another man's oligarchy.

At least this time, with a coalition, the parties in power have more than 51% of voter support for a change, though voters couldn't know they were voting for a coalition at the time and may not be satisfied with the result of the pairing. There are so many faults with our so called democracy I don't really know where to begin. It is easier to regard it as a pragmatic non-democracy, which works after a fashion, than to continue the pretence that it is a glorified democracy. -- UK Radical Campaigns. http://www.zing.icom43.net One man's democracy is another man's oligarchy. |
