Professional cyclist robbed of bike by Richmond Park machete gang

You've surpassed yourself, there, Nigel.

Nigel achieved his objective.

He made up a story and found a way to get three of his regular subjects shoehorned in (Khan, Freeman and 2 abreast).

This highjacked a thread about violence against a cyclist into a conversation about cyclist behaviour and Khan's security detail.

Transparent as always.

I'm kind of shocked he didn't mention that some of those evil abreast cyclists were on TT bikes...

That did cross my mind too.

Wait - this is a cycling forum??

On the exact day that this poor chap was being ruthlessly robbed of his bike in Khan's lawless London (the police were probably too busy acting as Khan's chaperone as he took his dogs for a walk)

Before you spout any more of your hate tripe, you might care to peruse this:

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/oct/09/sadiq-khans-247-se...

Khan sometimes needs up to fifteen trained anti-terrorist police to protect him, not at his request but at the orders of the police and secret service. His house is under 24/7 police surveillance due to credible death threats against him and his family, the Christchurch massacre gunman in his manifesto included a direct exhortation to people to have Khan killed...your continued mendacious attepts to smear him for having a very necessary security detail when going about all aspects of his professional and family life are pathetic and reveal just how close in thought and ideology you are to those he has to be guarded against.

Still, if you genuinely believe London is so dangerous that if your bike breaks down you won't get home alive, and if that belief keeps you out of London, I can say on behalf on Londoners we're pretty happy with that.

I have no problem with Sadiq Khan needing protection, but I do have a problem with him taking his dogs for a walk in a park 5 miles away when there's a park literally across the road, wasting police resources and causing pollution. That is the definition of hypocrisy.

On the occasion in question Khan was advised that due to the numbers gathering in his local park it was not safe for him to walk there.

As for the rest of what you've written, there's a group who constantly get called "scum", "liars", "lowlives" etc on this website, by yourself, and by the deputy leader of a major political party, leading to one of them being attacked on the streets of Manchester. The leader of this group has even had an effigy of his decapitated head paraded around on live TV. We Conservatives know more as much as any other group in society how it feels like to be "othered", ostracised and demonised, so give it a break with your fake indignation would you?

I challenge you to show anywhere that I have called Tories "scum" or "lowlives". Liars, certainly. If you are seriously claiming that Tories are as "othered, ostracised and demonised" as Muslims and other ethnic minority groups in this country then you are either trolling as usual or deeply, deeply stupid. I suspect it's a mix of both.

Didn't you post a meme calling Conservatives 'lower than vermin' the other day?

Yes.

Yes, you did.

Did I post a famous quote from Nye Bevan, founder of the National Health Service? Yes I did. Do you know the difference between quoting somebody and saying something yourself? No you don't.

So, by your definition it's ok to post, for example, an antisemitic meme because you're not the original author...

That's not how it works Rendel but I think you knew that already.

Yes, antisemitic memes and ones insulting the Tories are exactly the same, aren't they, you poor little "othered, ostracised and demonised" group? Goodness me, I used to think that you and NG (possibly the same person) were quite dangerous because you had a thin veneer of superficial intelligence, but over recent weeks that really has worn off to show who you both really are. It's not a pretty sight. Got to go and do some grownup busy work now so will leave you and your alterego to your lovein, I look forward to your lofty, patronising and increasingly desperate attempts at putdowns when I return. Hugs x

Nice attempt at deflection Rendel.

You have a responsibility for the content you post.

If you post memes attacking any group then you cannot deny responsibility for attacking said group.

That was my point, you knew that, you also knew it exposed you as the hypocritical troll you are.

Think before you post Rendel, it might save you from quite so much embarrassment.

Those troublesome personality traits again Rich.

Abusing people just because they disagree with you is not the best way to approach life.

We've been over this Rendel.

You have simultaneously proved yourself both a troll and a hypocrite.

If you find an accurate description of your own behaviour upsetting perhaps that is something you need to reflect on.

As an aside I notice you've got no comeback to my actual point.

Those troublesome personality traits again Rich.

How far you've fallen Rendel.

It's a shame.

When you first joined I honestly thought you'd be a positive addition to the forum.

You can tell a lot about a person by how they react to being proved wrong.

Have a nice day Rendel.

You can tell even more about people by how they insist that somebody else has been proved wrong solely on the basis of their own evidence-free judgment and prejudices, it's very revealing of their troublesome personality traits.

Rich / Rendel, you two are more alike than you realise.

I'd never heard of that term before, so I've learnt something today

Friend first and a teacher second. Probably an entertainer third.

My medical advisors have told me to avoid being in any room with a Tory, it's extremely bad for my blood pressure.

Have you tried an anti-inflamma-Tory?

Would it blow your mind to find out that I regularly change the political party I vote for?

It's a crazy idea but I actually read the manifestos, watch the interviews and debates then make up my mind.

I don't insult people for voting differently to me or insinuate that I'm morally superior in some way.

Intolerance of other opinions leads to the scenes we've seen at Chris Packham's home this week.

It starts with insults, progresses to threats and ends in violence.

Old advice. I can't believe you've been able to even see a GP for years

Yes, you should reflect on that also.

I've had a few laughs this morning but that one was one of the best. Thank you.
