I have decided, and this will be controversial, that I hope the incumbent is returned in the London mayoral elections.
I have a very real fear that otherwise, should labour win a GE he is likely to be parachuted into the first available safe seat byelection and be elected leader

@scott_walton @countcaspargh So, if 5 a day is your number, when motorists drop to 4 a day the legislation that applies to them should be repealed?

[Steve Smith @HidingSmith]

@archer_rs I suggest you find out how registration marks work.

You probably already know, but the reality doesn't suit.

[Steve Smith @HidingSmith]

@Lupindodor @smallbreamboy @countcaspargh 1 is not enough for amending legislation to match the 1700, so what number between 1 and 1700 is enough?
3?
12?
472?

Go on, set your level of "enough", a hard number

[Steve Smith @HidingSmith]

@Lupindodor @smallbreamboy @countcaspargh My focus is saving lives, that does not mean that

A) I cannot also believe in, desire, and work towards dealing with offenders
B) That cycles cannot be fitted with speedometers.

Speed is only one aspect of the many laws that could be modified to apply to cycles.

@CamdenCopWatch @cycleprawn @crochetjenny Try it, then respond.

@__theskipper__ @Butterknifeopr8 I know the previous answer was partial jest, but it would certainly be always on when out of the station, Every action, inaction and interaction recorded for my own (hopefully) protection.

[Steve Smith @HidingSmith]

@davidfhilliard So, how many is enough to warrant legislative change, that as a responsible, considerate, competent cyclist (presumption) won't even affect you anyway.

Go on, put a hard number on it.

[Steve Smith @HidingSmith]

@Butterknifeopr8 @__theskipper__ If I were job, it would be running constantly now. Even sat at a desk doing paperwork in case somebody accuses me of misspelling something

[Steve Smith @HidingSmith]

You know those days that start with a phonecall about a problem, and then another call about a different one, then another about expansion to the first problem. Repeat until false

Yup, thats today

[Steve Smith @HidingSmith]

@PolicemansLot @legalclaret Indeed we do, but, I really hate to say this, sometimes it is not what is done, but what is seen to be done that counts.

We should also consider the core policing aspect of "protect", and in the roads context, that often means protecting idiots from themselves.

@staywider @IndieChris71 @smallbreamboy @countcaspargh Action against bad road users resonates with both sides of the divide in my experience

[Steve Smith @HidingSmith]

@Butterknifeopr8 If you are going that way, then do it properly, beam axle conversion too :)

Sod it, portal axles both ends!

[Steve Smith @HidingSmith]

@Bellagiotime Hell no!

Don't restore, just renovate to working roadworthy condition

[Steve Smith @HidingSmith]

@FlashForFreedom Considerations for a perfect suit

Can I fit a shoulder holster underneath discreetly
Can I place something in a jacket pocket without the flap remaining inside

Ah, double breasted, sorry, forget it, not for me :)

[Steve Smith @HidingSmith]

@VeteranIrish Horse: Damn, baby spice has really let herself go

[Steve Smith @HidingSmith]

@MilitaryBanter A sorry state of affairs, but congrats on reaching out, and I am glad you got the help needed.

@rorygeo Are they just racist, or institutionally racist?

Enquiring minds want to know

[Steve Smith @HidingSmith]

@Clappers2020 @redhairedcop Dunno, but you can bet the supplier is having production problems and they cost £800.85 each. (station level) HQ ones are available for delivery tomorrow and only cost £71.75

@ediz1975 I have long been a firm believer that stupid should hurt
