That sentence could be aptly used in reply to pretty much every statistical contention that comes from that utter fuckwit. He must know that the positions that he takes are wrong if he feels that he needs to use deceit in order to support them, so why does he take such positions?

With speed cameras, of course, it's a hatred of motorists, as everyone knows. But why the "cycling isn't dangerous" and "helmets make things worse" positions? They appear to be borne out of some idea that cycling is so wonderful that nothing negative can ever be said about it, no matter how true, and no restrictions on cyclists can ever be advocated, no matter how sensible. It's nutcase fanaticism which helps no-one, least of all cyclists themselves.
