Running this one up the flagpole to see who salutes… 

I just don’t remember this being a thing until recently, now it seems a daily occurrence.
Could it be that there are drivers not up to the job, too many cars; should houses be made to ride in single file, shops put on high viz, why are we putting newer buildings in danger like this, it’s irresponsible.

‘A Dorset Police spokesperson said: “Dorset Police was called at 12.48pm on Thursday, August 13, to a report of a collision involving a car and a wall outside Iceland on Poole Road in Bournemouth.

“It is reported that the vehicle was also in collision with a pedestrian, but they did not require medical treatment.” ‘

But, was it a “It came out of nowhere!” or a SMIDSY?

A tweet lower down says that the bridge has been moved so don’t see road or rail being opened soon.

I read your first line and though by “poppy rage” you meant the cars making way through the war memorials – those enemies of the motorised people.

My favourite example is still the ex-mayor and councillor rolling a tank into one a year back.  Reeves and Mortimer stuff…

Starting to see a few sprinklings of Poppy Rage now “I DONT CARE WHO IS OFFENDED BY THIS” [Union Flag, poppy].  
No-one is, you’re making this up because you want attention or you like the adrenaline fix.  
If you really want to know who is harming war memorials, Google “car hits war memorial”.

The headline and first lines

The headline and first lines don’t seem to tally with the actual medical statement further down the page. I wonder why they took the victim to Heartlands when Good Hope was less then a mile away.

Local journalism at its finest, complete with an explanation that a war memorial is built as a memorial to wars… though as drivers have difficulty understanding that roads are the only place you should be driving cars, perhaps the MEN does have a handle on the intelligence of its readership in explaining their purpose. Perhaps Manchester’s mistake was not installing hi-viz and no entry signs, how is a poor motorist supposed to know?
