Default Motorbike Warning from MP

This makes my blood boil.

Huddersfield MP Barry Sheerman is quoted as saying in todays Huddersfield Examiner, page 5 that "Around 650 people on motorbikes die each year, which is an astonishing figure. In two years nearly as many people are killed in motorbike crashes as British soldiers killed in combat in the last 40 years.....If you have a husband, boyfriend or son who wants a motorbike, please try and persuade them to get something with four wheels instead"

What a ****!

Who the hell does he think he is.

In response I would say .. if you want your child to grow up to work at being immoral, irresponsible , a cheat, a swindler and a thief .. then tell him don't go for a life of crime - be an MP The hours are more sociable for starters!

Members of Parliament - when you are so good, that you are a shining example to the rest of us then we might listen to you - until then go back to your two houses, one of which WE are paying for, go back to filling in your claim forms for your moat cleaning and duck houses or whatever.. but please don't tell me how to live my life and that of my friends.

Oh and by the way I also believe that no British soldiers life is worth the sh!t you are selling us to justify YOUR wars which no doubt you are doing for the benefit of the arms manufacturers of this country. In my mind 650 britsh servicemen and women might have died doing their jobs but they sure as hell did not deserve to die for trash like this.

Phew!

Before I send him a polite email, what is the source of this?

I wouldn't get your knickers in a twist. It's not an election winning point.

+1 to what Chris said - I want to have a proper read for context before calling for his hanging.

Source is todays Huddersfield Examiner Page 5 column 1 second story

BTW I don't actually favour hanging - public impalement is more my thing.

That or sending him out hunting IED's in Helmand province!

Does that matter? I want people of all classes and professions to stop spouting uninformed nonsense, so I may as well start with something I enjoy doing.

I wonder how many people die driving cars each year, or from smoking, or falling over.

People if you have husbands, son's or boyfriends who want to use their legs tell them no...they might fall over. If you have a wife, daughter or girlfriend who has legs that's okay as apparently they don't fall over.

Considering this 'tard was:

99% in favour of "Iraq 2003 - For the invasion" and only 1% in favour of "Iraq Investigation - Necessary"

From his voting history, perhaps he should be looking inwardly before comparing how many bikers die to the number of soldiers his votes unnecessarily sent to their deaths...

Perhaps not but this is the sort garbage that this current shower seem to come out with at the drop of hat rather than face the reality of what their ilk have done to this country since then end of the last war
