I'm not, I just have a hobby.

Aren't we all, but jumping to conclusions as to who's doing it and acting upon those conclusions without any evidence other than a name printed in one of the least factually accurate publications in the country isn't necessarily a good way to respond.

Shame about misspelling upon though.

Isn't the poor spelling deliberate, it will give Judith something else to bash us with.

Be interesting to see if sideshow gets any response and what it says.

I don't like it any more than the rest of you, but I would rather have all the facts before anyone goes vilifying anyone else

I do agree that whoever it is their attitude to their fellow human beings is utterly repugnant!

It really bugs me to read something like this in the national press, do you think they would be so quick to print a letter glorifying the deaths of Christians/the aged/Asians/redheads /etc? No. I don't think so either.

For some reason it seems perfectly reasonable to pick on certain other minority groups (i.e. bikers) though. Unfortunately if three thousand bikers ride well and three ride like morons then it's the three who get noticed. Yes, just like in most walks of life, there is always the minority of idiots who spoil it for everyone else, and biking is no different. But what about idiotic car drivers, the boy-racers and their supercharged cars doing handbrake turns or red-light racing in the middle of the night at some supermarket car park or deserted town centre? How about some of the loonies that drive artics and transits, oh and the 4x4 brigade? Or don't they exist in this woman's little world?

I think she has put her self at considerable risk writing that letter.......I know of a few crazy crazy people who would take that to heart and hunt her down.

Hell in the current climate of bikers shooting bikers, for a non biker to say crap like that is very risky business.

I say "whatever" because to be honest i really dont care about whinging old farts like that... i think they are best suited to just sitting down and shutting up lol, why do you think we have old peoples homes so we can boot em all off in there when they start moaning... quite age-ist i know but im sick of people wanting things to be like the olden days, where people went to dances and there were flowers and kittens everywhere lol. . . . you get the idea..

MCN = More Cr*p than News

Don't send any emails to this person!!

2 Resons:

You don't know if you've gto the right email address.

You don't know if she actually did write that letter in MCN.


A couple of years ago the BNP got in trouble because one of their candidates wrote into a local rag pretending to be a nice old dear sick of the local immigration policy who was going to vote BNP.

Know your facts.

Imagine if it is a hoax & she starts getting abusive emails from loads of people condemning "her" letter.

I'm sure the national press would have kittens, "Nations bikers attack defenceless 80 year old grandmother" etc

I have a funny feeling she is captain of the local green bowls team!
