The police in Camden are getting a grip of Doug Bollen's mates. Hundreds
have been spoken to and warned and those too stupid to listen have been
fined.

Good work!

A good start - and they say it will be widened out across London. About
time too.

Indeed. One of the junctions they name (Queensway/Gt Queen St/Lincoln's
Inn Fields) is where I was hit by a cyclist who thought he had more right
to go through the red light than the pedestrians had to cross the road on
a green light. He then followed me across the pedestrian crossing, across
another road and down the pavement shouting abuse at me.

Obviously a police cabal (don't forget the police are motorists).
The police did not understand that the cyclists are doing these things
to avoid the killer motorists (who dominate this newsgroup)
Can we hope that they will extend this operation to South London,
starting with Croydon & Kingston (oh and Catford)
I await your comments Doug, please don't hold back, say what you mean.

Let's hope that it is extended to Catford, home of Doug Bollen (not
the same Doug as the one who spams this newsgroup of course).
