Queensland; 30 years behind the civilised world.  From my visits, I'm amazed at the mindset.

CS6 cyclists dropping out of hyperspace there.

I won't be smoking all day. 

This blog thingy really is being updated every five minutes. Leg shaving, I only got the legs out of wraps yesterday; it's too early for shaving.

She keeps digging: "it was going into a ditch with that concentrated look on his face that amused me".

I can only imagine she's short of a few quid so has taken a page out of the Katie Hopkins play book.  Both of them have worked for the Daily Mail.

Advocating thuggish behaviour that could be life changing to the victim beggers belief.

Imagine if this was regarding a video of a woman being assaulted and a male journo tweeted

Sounds bad, until you see the film and can't help cheering. We've all longed to do it to the women.

Absolutely.  Utterly incredible that this kind of bias and incitement to violence is allowed.  YW is right; in any other circumstances this "journalist" would have been instantly dismissed and the story would have been huge, but because it's a cyclist, hardly anyone has noticed.

Surely it'd count as incitement to violence, which would be a criminal matter? A sacking would be appropriate.
