I accept that some cyclists can annoy drivers but when commuting, they are generally just trying to get where they are going and missing the traffic. Those that are dicks are most likely that way due to numerous close calls with inconsiderate motorists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people have short memories. Throwing his toys out the pram and self funding the nimbys campaign to stop the stadium when he wasn't going to get the AG land says it all. Remember that people. He needs to go. I agree, Ferguson is dreadful but anyone linked with the Labour party is even worse. They will be occupying the last two slots on my ballot paper.

Not enough really, the traffic and parking is now so bad that most cycle lanes are used by cars anyway. They aren't particularly well thought out or utilised.

RED4LIFE Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 I love our fair city but the one thing about it that I just cant bare is that absolute cock of a mayor. Cronyism, 20mph zones, AV and hypocrisy to name but a few of the things that make me rage. He seems to be in it only for himself and his business colleagues. The fact there are multiple road signs pointing out directions to the Tobacco Factory says everything to me. Is his home/business that important that it needs road signs or is he using tax payers money to line his own pockets? Unfortunately, as a Downend resident I come under the South Gloucs banner so can't vote and have to sit and suffer his ridiculous ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillzider Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 It's difficult to think of a more smug or conceited man than George Ferguson. Every time I hear him talk his standard reaction is a patronising laugh to anyone who has an apposing view to his. incredible to think that the main plank of his term in office, RPZ'S wasn't even in his manifesto when standing for election last time. I wonder why ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Red Hat Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Bristol News 7 mins · The Cable story explained the Bristol Port was not allowed to frack but that this did not prevent a third party company from doing so - the owners of the port have dozens of 'subsidiary companies' so it would take them five minutes to do so. In addition, Council Cabinet documents revealed City Council officers trying to establish an agreement on what % of profits/cash the council would get if fracking went ahead. Now why did they do this if fracking was banned? http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/…/story-29225337-d…/story.html… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emmeline Pankhurst was a martyr who chained herself to Westminster so people like myself can choose to vote. Even if every single candidate on the sheet was a complete pillock in my book, I'd still make my mark on the paper. I've had a say. Something very powerful even if most people think it makes no difference or it means nothing. I will make a X on the paper. Whether it is for Marv, George or a bloody gert X through all the names. I won't and I refuse to waste my right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't and I refuse to waste my right. In Australia voting is compulsory and you are fined for not voting; possibly escalating to a criminal conviction. I think there's something admirable in that. Especially as the Electoral Commission keeps records of spoiled ballot papers, at least if people turned up and wrote 'colin' next to each candidate they'd be exercising a protest, failing to vote, even if in protest, is just implied as apathy.
