I believe so, it's worth every penny that I give them.

It wasn't so long ago that the Times was campaigning for cyclist safety after one of its journalists(?) was knocked off her bike. It's fallen into line with the rest of the right-wing rags quickly enough. Giving Freeman column inches is hateful - total one-trick pony.

Echo the great work of Carlton, and I've signed up as a supporter.

Pity about the Times, once known as the Thunderer, but it isn't even the whimperer now, just a sad faded reflection of a once great paper.  How the hell are we ever going to get justice if almost the entire msm hates cyclists?  I wonder if all those papers so quick to condemn the cyclist when the pedestrian ran out in front of him have printed the actual facts yet?
