Motorcycles and Jeremy Vine

To the arseholes who voted for motorcycles to be banned from the road on Jeremy Vine’s show, I have just this to say; you are the ignorant, ill-informed, moronic arse dribble responsible for what is so dire in our present society. You dare to preach to others about what they should (or should not) do, yet lack the intellectual ability to reason, let alone put forward a coherent argument.

Having ridden bikes for over thirty years (and enjoyed every single minute), I am aware of the risks and how to manage them (and they are manageable). I’ll be damned if I take notice of some ignorant fuckwit who thinks they have the moral authority to lecture me about the risks I take – and, worse, the arrant presumptuousness to assume that they are in a position to tell me that I cannot ride my bike because they don’t like them. Who the fuck gives a shit what some whiny little prole pontificating on Radio 2 thinks (and I use the word “think” in its loosest possible sense) about bikes? If you don’t like them, no one is forcing you to ride one. I notice that the family car is not on the hate list here. Not too biased are we Jeremy?

Well, fuck you! Fuck the lot of you! I’ll fucking ride whatever I want, whenever I want and you can take your ignorant bigotry and stick it where the sun don’t shine. No whining Radio 2 listener is going to give me instructions in anything, you fucking retarded bunch of shits. You don’t have the authority.

I detest you and everything you stand for; the ignorance and bigotry, the narrow minded meanness that you represent; the simple-minded black and white world you inhabit; your desire to ban that which you are too stupid and facile to understand. May a plague of a thousand cockroaches infest the arseholes you speak from. Go fuck yourselves, you arrogant ignorant cunts.

Whew! That’s better…

  1. You lucky bugger Mr Jacobs, I always seem to get a bloody frog flag. I like cats, I’m not so fussed about frogs.
    Anyway Mr Longrider serves you right for listening to radio two.

  2. Just got back from a game of golf ,switched on the internet looked at your blog and thought I had the devil instead. I like you when you get angry. Keep it going.

  3. I don’t often get really angry. While I view the politicans who are busily raping our civil liberites with contempt, it is a cold contempt and I credit them with a degree of cycnicm. The self-righteous sanctimonous shower of shits who phoned into Jeremy Vine are just the type of fucktards that feed the political elite’s delusions. It is people such as this who thought the Gestapo were doing a grand job clearing up crime in the Jewish quarters of Warsaw and Berlin. I despise them with every fibre of my being.

    One day – too late one hopes for them – they will realise that the ban it brigade want to ban them.

    Jeremy and Haddock, the gravatars are set to random. If you are fussy and sufficiently inclined, follow the gravatar link at the bottom of the page and set your own up. Or not, whichever takes your fancy.

  4. Why vote off the road, in totality, any of the things suggested on Mr Vine’s website.

    Two thoughts:

    (i) He’s just winding people up to “raise interest” in his radio program.

    (ii) He is not Jimmy Young; with stuff like this, it’s doubtful he will ever get close.

    Best regards

  5. He also has a poll on his website where 59% of people want to make incest legal.

    If these are the sort of people who want me to stop riding my bike then…………

  6. Nigel, you have a point there, I think.

    Englishman… Words fail me. How dare they presume… But, I said that already, didn’t I?

  7. Longrider: I’m sort of with you on this, why motorcycles? Cars, lorries etc are far more dangerous (admittedly banning cars and issuing everyone with a cycle does tempt my lefty mind, but even I accept I am being extreme).

    There is a curious blind spot to the damage cars do. When Orwell wrote of doublespeak, it was the sort of language that describes ‘cyclists as dangerous’ not the one tonne cars that kill them, ‘do-gooders as bad people’ and ‘political correctness as detrimental’. How right Orwell was in his observations of the 1948 media (some say he came up with 1984 as a title by switching the digits on the date he wrote the book). The media has probably got worse since Orwell observed it.

    As for ‘Al BBC’, I think you do have to take these things with the pinch of salt I’m sure they are meant with, as Nigel above points out. The BBC is one of the best things about this country, if you want the Sun and Daily Mail level of ‘truth’ then you are welcome to it. I prefer a media organisation that is respected around the world for the accuracy and fairness of its reporting.

  8. Neil, cyclists were included on the hit list too – so I’m afraid, you too, are off the road according to these idiots. I agree with Nigel about why Jeremy Vine did what he did. What worries me is that it showed the ugly underbelly of British thinking; that banning something you don’t like is an acceptable course of logic. I don’t like 4x4s as I consider them ungainly and unnecessary on city streets. That dislike manifests itself in a refusal to buy one.

    As I’ve pointed out before, cars are not dangerous, bikes are not dangerous; cycles are not dangerous; people are. A machine; any machine; only become dangerous when it is used inappropriately.

  9. Are guns machines? what about bombs? tanks? They are designed to inflict damage, harm, are they not? You cannot just blame people for cars (or anything else) being dangerous. The number of deaths from accidents in cars and on the road was significantly reduced by car manufacturers improving design, people’s actions had nothing to do with it. So road safety laws, speed reductions, types of vehicles etc. are all important.

  10. They are designed to inflict damage, harm, are they not?

    Indeed. Cars are not.

    You cannot just blame people for cars (or anything else) being dangerous.

    Yes, I can. People are entirely responsible for bad driving, cars are not.

    The number of deaths from accidents in cars and on the road was significantly reduced by car manufacturers improving design…

    Manufacturers’ improvement in design reduces the consequence of incidents, not the cause. The cause is people driving badly. Ever studied or practised the principle of risk management? I have, it is my area of occupational expertise, as is transport.

    Good risk management tackles the cause before it tackles the consequence (it also manages out the risk entirely if that is feasible). Road safety laws, speed restrictions that are not risk based and vehicle types are not a suitable primary method of risk management; because while they may contribute, they do not resolve the cause. Driver education along with a change in driver attitude, however, does.

    people’s actions had nothing to do with it.

    And your evidence to support this assertion is? Never mind the improvements to driver training and testing, never mind the increased standards to which the driver training industry is subjected, never mind the efforts of the driver training industry to improve the standards of driver education, nor the efforts of organisations such as RoSPA, the IAM and others to encourage post test training and examination to higher standards, nor those of the police forces who take time out to help and encourage people to improve their standards of driving and riding… Nothing to do with people, my arse!

  11. That was the final outcome apparently. When I posted the link, they were discussing bikes. The hit list included white vans, HGVs, motorcycles, bicycles, tractors and 4x4s. Mind you, replace motorcycle with 4×4 and the point stands.
