View Full Version : Cameron breaks traffic laws

The Tory leader was photographed by the Daily Mirror as he cycled to Westminster.
During the journey he was spotted riding the wrong way up a one-way street, going the wrong way round a "Keep left" bollard, crossing the white line at a red traffic light, and riding across a toucan crossing for cyclists and pedestrians while the signal was red.
According to the paper, the incursions all occurred within the space of a 30-minute bike ride from his home in Notting Hill, west London, to the House of Commons.
Mr Cameron, who has made much of his enthusiasm for cycling to underscore his "green" credentials, has apologised.
In a statement, he said: "I know it is important to obey traffic laws - but I have obviously made mistakes on this occasion and I am sorry."
Kevin Clinton, head of road safety for the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA), criticised Mr Cameron for his "disappointing" behaviour.
He said: "It is essential that all road users, including cyclists, obey traffic laws. The laws are there for everybody's safety and, as always, it is disappointing when someone in the public eye sets a bad example."

Oh dear hahaha, i'm not that keen on Cameron as he just reminds me of Tony Blair :(. I'm sure it's not as bad as invading a sovereign country based on a pack of lies :)

Are you obsessed with the Iraq war? Seriously you need to get a grip :rolleyes: Even though I don't support the Tories, he is the best thing that has happened to them since '97

Due to him being more to the left? Yeah well you would say that. The Iraq War killed tens of thousands so I can be angry over it as I wouldn't say it's not an issue would you? I could name a whole lot of things the Labour Government has done worse than David Cameron driving his bike wrong.

Well it was obviously a good move. The Tories were stuck in the past, which is why they have not been able to win an election for 10 years. Since Cameron came in, they look set to win the next election - he must be doing something right.
I like how you called terrorists innocent...

Tories weren't stuck in the past. Michael Howard gained more votes in the last General Election than Tony Blair still won. It just shows how wrong our political system is. If you hadn't noticed ever since left wingers began seeping into the countries political system and gaining more power whether it's from brussels or westminister the country has got worse. Oh and there were no terrorists in Iraq, well not until we invaded and disbanded the police, border guard and pretty much the whole structure of Iraq.

Hmm there are fatal flaws in the system in Iraq. I dont suppose anyone saw that film the other night, Battle for Haditha? All about US Marines in Iraq and when one of their soldiers die they kill near to everyone is the immediate area. 24 people I think. It was based on a true story.

The UK got rid of an evil dictator. I personally agree with their actions and personally don't care if a repressive Nationalist like you thinks otherwise.

Its not strictly news but its a laugh anyway. Labour have hit all time low in the past 25 years in the opinion polls. Tories have gained a 16 point lead says the polls.

As they do now, hence the reason Cameron CYCLES to work.
Oh, and you say you talk about Iraq because its debated alot. I fail to see what this post has to do with Iraq. As always you seem to get a sudden thrill out of an argument which generates out of nothing. Pathetic really.

Just like you really posting about the Tory Leader and his bike. I was making a comparison though between what the Tories have done wrong (which seems the best you can come up with is riding a bike on wrong side of the road) and what Labour have done wrong, invade Iraq, damage our countrys reputation, put the country in debt and open up the borders to terrorists and whoever else would like to come and murder, commit crime and bomb people here.

The Tory MP who uses our taxes to pay for his kids education (I think thats what he used it for, my memory failed me on this).
Unreliable - back out when the going gets tough, for example Iraq. They sell out their believes for popularity.
Tories are equally as responsible for Iraq then Labour
In the past, Thatcher totally messes the ecconomy up
Only good thing we get from the Tories is that they won us the war

He's a complete idiot yeah and so are MP's from all parties if they steal any taxpayer money, anyone caught stealing taxpayer money should be banned from parliament and taken to court. The Conservatives did vote for the war but are not equally responsible for it although still partly are. The Labour party were the ones who lied about the non-existant threat and the Conservatives weren't. On the subject of Thatcher she actually revived our economy by cutting the Trade Unions stranglehold on the Government and by closing failing industrys.

I don't believe they lied to us, I believe they were misled by the Americans. Yes, they should of gone in on more evidence, but they got rid of Saddamm, who only provided the water ect for the people HE wanted to. For the rest of the Iraq, they lived in fear and poverty. They have created a mess in Iraq, but now they have to remain there to sort it out. Getting rid of all these terrorists is a good thing right? I'm off to watch Eastenders now :)

It was clear Saddam didn't have Nuclear/Chemical/Biological weapons even the UN conducted a search of Iraq and found absolutly nothing. Big american companies were and are benefitting from the Invasion of Iraq right now. Saddam Hussein modernised all of Iraq, built motorways, hospitals, schools, universitys, power plants and basicially built the whole thing up from nothing. He also abolished the barbaric Sharia courts and gave women the opportunity to wear western clothes, to have a high position in work and have human rights. I have said it before and I will say it again - You have to be harsh for the greater good if you are a Middle Eastern leader. :)

Killing innocents isn't the greater good. Saddam was paranoid, so killed those who were a threat to him. He reminds me of a Middle East Stalin actually.

If saddam wanted to kill people in his own country good luck to him ;) if they didnt want him to kill them then obey his laws. why should we waste our cash and our soldiers lives by going their to kill his people instead? we need the oil to sell so mr brown can pay our debts off hes got us in.

But the innocent have always died so i do not see how people use that as argument against him.
The only reason the USA+UK invaded iraq qas becuase they anted to control the oil prices. The weapons of mass destruction ploy was just to give the governments an excuse
