Backpedalling on the raw meat tossed to the rabid gammons.
A total non starter.
---------------------------------------

Confusion reigned this morning as transport minister Grant Shapps' comments in an interview given to The Times appeared to contradict his widely-reported pledge to enforce tougher rules, namely possibly introducing number plates for cyclists, as part of the current legal review.

Speaking to the national newspaper, the Tory cabinet minister said: "I'm a keen cyclist, I'm very proud of the big expansion in the number of miles being cycled. I'm not attracted to the bureaucracy of registration plates. That would go too far."

In the world of practical politics a technique of testing the water for an
idea is to float it and see what happens. In this case, two things are
being tested.

please, Liz can I have a cabinet role - I met the 3 criteria of being (i) "tough" (ii) wrong about everything and (iii) not focused on anything that actually matters

The intent seems to be that cyclists aren't above the new default 20 mph speed limits. Cool? Is the enforcement then the same as it was with driver speeding before speed guns came along?
