By now, we *all* know he did it, even his most grovelling, showing off sycophants (you know who you are). The evidence is easily conclusive enough, and if he hadn't done it, he would have long since denied it (as he frequently, quickly and reliably has when other similar, but false, accusations have been made against him).

So if we all know he did it, and he knows we know he did it, why does he not just admit it? What does he hope to gain by refusing to do so? All he does is make himself appear more and more dishonest, not just about that, but about the other true things he's regularly accused of (e.g. his hatred of motorists).

Time to come clean. (You of course know exactly what, and who, I'm talking about, which in itself is a good indication of how familiar with his guilt you are.) Seriously though, what does he have to gain by not admitting it? I honestly don't know...do you? He really screwed up by doing it in the first place, as he no doubt realises, but he compounded that by refusing to admit it afterwards, and he's compounding it further by still refusing to come clean in the face of overwhelming evidence. He will continue to make it worse if he doesn't admit it; on the other hand, he has nothing to lose by fessing up, and he may even earn microscopic amounts of respect from those who despise him (OK, so that's probably going a bit far, but still).

Speed cameras kill cyclists: discuss, and try to do so without employing underhand tactics, even if you're a camera supporter who knows that the facts aren't how you so desperately want them to be. (Oh dear, even the "off-topic" excuse can't be used now.)

(Flappi Bunday: Same to you! Just pre-empting the inevitable, predictable reply from you.)
