"Merseyside police farce did nothing when a cyclist riding on the pavement collided with my car as i was turning into a factory off a roundabout."

Sounds like this driver was incredibly lucky not to face a dangerous driving charge if they hit a cyclist who was on the pavement  

 

Confused by this one . .  was the cyclist on the pavement ? Meaning the driver was therefore driving (illegally) on the pavement or was the cyclist on a road, as roundabouts rarely feed traffic onto a pavement ?
Sounds like Mr Driver is rather confused about what happened, and is instead telling half a story, a friend mentioned hearing from a mate down the pub (after a few pints), that he'd heard someone on the Mailonline mention in a comment about something with a vague connection to a cyclist.

I wouldn't worry. Those mouth-breathers would fit the cattle prod and then forget about it and zap themselves every time they got into/out of their vehicle.

Inspired, can I propose that we now call the comments section of the DM Bedlam (or Bethlam Royal  to use it's proper name) after the infamous asylum where Victorians would entertain themselves watching the "gibbering ravings of the wretched inmates".

Here's the headline

Isn't it ironic that the core DM readership voted in the George and David club who have demolished every Police Force in the country, you reap what you sow.

Our PM was at the helm when these cuts were made, and even Maggie didn't go after the boys in blue

Wasn't that because Maggie was using the police as her private enforcers?

Certainly during the miners strike

And in turn, she looked after them (S Yorks) over Hillsborough. Fucking sick.

I would not have believed it possible, but the Daily Mail seems to have moved even further to the right since Dacre resigned.   Its readers are hysterical fascists.
