@TrevorABranch This is a really good debate topic... for those who like audio/visual learning, I remember this webinar a couple of years ago to be a nice discussion piece: https://t.co/Ff0i9W0AP9. Also, always good to see people from the fishery, hear their accents and see where they fish too.

Hard to comprehend the scale of the flood disaster in Pakistan, the 5th most populated nation in the world.

Nearly 1400 dead, 1 million houses damaged or destroyed, and 50,000,000 people displaced.

Drivers kill 600 cyclists and pedestrians every year.

Cyclists generally cause the death of zero pedestrians.

Yet, @grantshapps is wasting Civil Servants' time on a measure that will increase fatalities by encouraging cyclists to drive.

Embarrassing.
