An Open Letter To London Mayor Boris Johnson. Well, Sort Of An Open Letter
August 16, 2009
R.F.Wilson writes: I would like to tell London’s Mayor, Boris Johnson – in the style of open letter – that I have had enough of his gimmicks and stunts.
He has really lost the plot by deciding to suffocate the city with his 40,000 bicycles that would be available for rent at some stupid renting points. The man is delirious. There are already too many cars and people in London, and way too many cyclists who clog up the streets and behave like savages by cycling down the pavements, jumping red lights and deliberately getting in the ways of cars.
So I say to Mr Johnson: Hey, Mr Mayor! What are you, Chinese? Aren’t you taking you silly green games a bit too far? Haven’t you got anything else better to do? You cycle yourself for political reasons. You want to get re-elected and eventually seize power in Britain. That is why you cycle so publicly. Because you want the green mafia to support you in the elections. But why drag us, normal people, into this disgraceful game? You can take your green credentials and… Well, you know what to do with them and where to place them.
So, 40,000 new cyclists will infest London every day if Mr Johnson’s plans will be implemented. As if there is no such thing as traffic congestion in London. As if public transport is running smoothly and the Tube is a perfection of a people’s carrier. Modern, bright, never breaks down, works as clockwork.
Get real, Mr Mayor of London. Start sorting out public transport, reducing crime and preventing property developers from destroying the city’s skyline. And start fixing the roads that resemble war torn strips of asphalt. And force local authorities to remove those speed ramps that damage car suspensions.
Oh yes, and get off your bike and start travelling by Underground. To know what a mess it is and how people suffer in the heat there.
Or else we vote you out. Olympics or no Olympics.
