"I 'ad That Jenny Jones On The Bonnet Of Me Cab Once, Yer Know..."

The Green Party's Mayoral candidate risked angering thousands of taxi drivers today by suggesting they were putting the lives of cyclists at risk.

London Assembly member Jenny Jones said that reckless drivers had twice forced her off the road and had hurled abuse from their black cabs.
Why assume it's because you're a cyclist, Jenny? It might just be because of your other barmy ideas?

    Usual Green Party ranting with no evidence to back it up. These taxis had no taxi licence numbers or registration plates then?

    ""last year, 10 cyclists were killed on the capital's roads and there were 13 deaths in 2009""

    A drop of 23%. She must be very pleased.

    What the hell is she wearing? Is that a skirt, not the most practical cycling gear whatever it is...

    The shoes, I mean, come on, I cannot believe she is cycling a significant distance is those. So my suspicion is she is just trying to get some attention from the right demographic for whatever fake election is coming up soon.

    Not sure why she is wearing that terrifying mask though ...

    Has she been tested for Mad Cow disease?

    I've seen her picture. It might be ungentlemanly to say so but I very much doubt that anybody's had her on the bonnet of a car.

    "Usual Green Party ranting with no evidence to back it up."

    And no journalist pointing out that the figures she quotes contradict her strident message, as Bucko has done.

    "Love the title, Julia."

    Sometimes a titles just suggests itself! ;)

    "Not sure why she is wearing that terrifying mask though ..."

    You'd think that'd keep away drivers, wouldn't you?

    "It might be ungentlemanly to say so.."

    LOL!

    Or if they have, they were doing 90, and it was left to the ambulance and plstic surgeon to scrape of, and piece together the remains.

    Trouble is, the plastic surgeon was coming down off a bad acid trip at the time.
