Told you it would be propaganda.

Nearly as unbiased and representative as their documentary on the BNP.

early on in the prog they showed that think bike ad where the driver pulls out of a side road into a bike. first time i've seen it since the crash. wasn't very nice.

As said in the opening titles there has been attempts of educating bikers,
patronising gits
do they think we're all neanderthals who wander around dragging our knuckles on the floor

And from 'im in doors
quote
The progrramme seemed to be morbidly fixated on the deaths of bikes making it's argument that it's mainly our fault for getting killed, well how f*****g patronising is that! Bet more motorist are killed in cars in wales. bet you if it was a documentry about the relationship between farmers and their sheep it'd go down pretty well, but no.
