That's about the size of it.

I'm amazed though...I thought even the most dishonest and extreme car- haters openly accepted that the main aim of Livingstone's rephasing was to hold up motorists and thereby supposedly discourage their sinful mode of transport. Even Jenny Jones acknowledges that for Christ's sake. There can be no other sensible explanation for the sheer number of times that one sits at red with no conflicting traffic or pedestrians anywhere to be seen. When driving through London you do not get the impression that the authorities are trying to use roadspace efficiently; quite the opposite, in fact. It's completely obvious to anyone, idiot or otherwise. It's entirely typical of the relentless spite and negativity that you get from car-haters. They even continue to waste public money on "improvements" such as reducing 4-lane roads to 2 lanes and similar nonsense.

I think Jackson might actually be the most crazed and determined car- hater on URC/URCM, surpassing even Doug, Phil Knee and the Chap Man. Quite something, that. Remember, this is the guy who says that when they've been in collision with a motorist, a cyclist should *always* make an insurance claim, to "make a political point". As if we need leftie loons putting any additional strain on our services in these hard times. So bloody irresponsible, but it seems that absolutely anything goes (even knowingly compromising safety) when it comes to promoting cycling and "cyclists' rights".

Sorry for the rant, but sometimes I think people need to be reminded of just who they're dealing with when it comes to the psycholists. If you wish to drive, these people wish to impede you, just for the sake of it. They're not rational and they won't stop attempting to attack can't just be ignored but need to be fought against since they have the ear of the likes of Livingstone.
