Oh look, the 1-star troll-coward is now giving 1-star ratings to all posts by anyone who hasn't explicitly shown themselves to be sufficiently anti-motorist. With any luck there is some condition in the Google T&Cs which says you can't abuse the rating system by rating hundreds of posts at a time without even reading them. I'll certainly be looking into it. Meanwhile they are doing a very good job of showing the pathetic mentality, and determination to censor anyone who isn't entirely "on-message", of the average URC cretin. Bravo.
