And starts trolling Westminister Council’s promotion of cycling.
Okay so maybe not hacked, this Lab councillor Murad Ghassanly, actually thinks cycling is for children and can’t wait to buy a ‘big electric car’. Cue Twitter war with cyclists. It’s interesting how confidently he spreads anti-cycling rhetoric, no doubt looking to drum up votes from a certain crowd:
“It’s a niche. Bikes are outdated. Actually have to use my legs to move. For kids. Greens are tree huggers. Hate cyclists jumping lights. Boring, bet you’re vegetarian.”, etc.

State of the Labour party today. Regressive trolls like this filling it up, happy to stir up shit for votes. Thought this pic was from a comedy sketch, but no, real deal. Guy spent time on Photoshop making this. Fuckin’ hell.

This piece of rank stupidity probably has more to do with internal Azerbaijani politics than any deep or sensible analysis of transport policy.
Yeah, aspirational nonsense. Get a car and you’ve somehow made it. Roll the junk heap around BMW showrooms when they’re closed dreaming of being behind the wheel some day. Sad as.
A little self-awareness would be nice. We get the whole emergent middle-class thing. Guarantee you many cyclists, myself included have owned nicer cars than he’ll ever drive. People move on, wise up, and do their bit. Save the car/jeep for the big trips. The UK is more developed and nuanced now – it’s all about social conscientiousness going forward, it has to be. If you want cred, especially with millenials, and more intellectual boomers, then you have to reject destructive practices.
The guy’s stuck in what we now consider the dark ages. Thinks he’s modern because he fancies himself driving an electric Tesla. Total goof-ball. As if electric cars will solve congestion. As if electricity is generated by fairies.
End of the day, he doesn’t ride a bike because 1: he doesn’t have the nads for it, and 2: his head’s in the clouds. Probably why he went into politics, do some piss-easy campaigning, get votes, get what he considers ‘respectability’.
Anagram of his name says it all
