Perspective chaps, lets keep a little, you’re snivelling cyclist snitches ratting out a few poor motorists, who heaven help us don’t have enough agro already in their daily lives being the cash cow they are to the state.
Personally in my time I’ve been the ‘have a go hero’ I believe the term was when we were being encouraged in that direction, got a black eye and lost a contact lenses for my trouble helping a Taxi driver who was being assailed by local language students of arabic appearance, I’ve pulled folk out of the channel, saved kids who have fallen down cliffs, gone to assist with first aid at car crashes before the medics arrive and assorted other examples of good samaritan action that I would reason anyone else would have done in similar circumstances, certainly anyone from my generation.
No I wouldn’t help the police under any circumstance these days other than rape and or murder if I were in a position so to do. The police have lost all my respect years ago, now that maybe because of governmental box ticking, but all I see are soft target acquiring cowards who shrink from any serious issues unless they have NCA backing.
And the more of you that follow our friend down the ratting out route, the more I’m likely to join any appeals to have commuter cyclists number plated up, what’s grease for the goose…
PS I thoroughly enjoyed Dennis Skinners interview and take on things, a shame there are not more conviction politicians like him, but then he’s from my era. I may not agree with everything indeed not much of what he says but I applaud his ability to say it and the fast disappearing culture of its tolerance.
