Matthew Parris - what a twat

Matthew Parris wrote a 'joke' article in the times over Christmas.  At the time I read it I thought it was a dumb article just aimed at inciting some comments and laughs at other people's expense.  I'm now not so sure and am grateful for the cyclists and non-cyclists that took much more serious umbridge over it and responded.  The Times has now issued a (small, discreet) apology, although Matthew Parris has yet to be decapitated.

Some of the comments are fantastic fun to read, and will either make you laugh or make your blood boil.  Some of them also make you appreciate just how stupid people some Times readers really are (AK from Swindon, I'm looking at you).

Now you've read that and had a chuckle, try this one (mentioned in one of the comments)
