Grant Shapps,i think he has a plan to change the English weather.

Ne’er cast a clout,

Until May is out.

Denials of pseudonym and second job

Shapps's use of the names Michael Green and Sebastian Fox attracted controversy in 2012. He denied having used a pseudonym after entering parliament and, in 2014, threatened legal action against a constituent who had stated on Facebook that he had.

In February 2015 he told LBC Radio presenter Shelagh Fogarty, "Let me get this absolutely clear ... I don't have a second job and have never had a second job while being an MP. End of story."[73]

However, in March 2015, Shapps admitted to having had a second job whilst being an MP, and practising business under a pseudonym.[74][75] In his admission, he stated that he had "over-firmly denied" having a second job.[76]

Under the name Michael Green, Shapps had offered customers a "get-rich-quick scheme" costing $497, and promised customers a "toolkit" that would earn them $20,000 in 20 days, provided they followed its instructions.[77] In March 2015, Dean Archer, the constituent previously threatened with legal action by Shapps, threatened Shapps with legal action.[78][79]

Americans have been controlling the weather for years with their HAARP project.

The guy has lost his brain,thinly veiled if everyone gets on their bikes in the wind and rain and snow and frost ,to go to work,the hospitals will be filled with people suffering from pneumonia ,how do these guys get these idea's.it has to be a red herring to make people take their eye of some other breaking news ,or the guy has seriously lost the plot.

Where is Matt Handcock to tell everyone how he is going to protect the people from the pandemic of pneumonia that will arrive when Grant's plan is put into action.?

I better set off now on the 200 mile bike ride..I gotta get there by 6 on Monday

monorail

i am beginning to think,that the bike idea is spin(red herring)to dilute the real story about the migrants arriving.The government could not be that stupid to tell everyone to get on their bikes.

jet ski,s down the thames

The Irish government came out with an idea to reduce the traffic flow in Dublin a few years back and opened up rent a bike shops.The idea was that a guy could hire a bike for the day and leave it back at any of the bike banks dotted round the city.
ON day one of the idea 600 bikes were supplied to the bike banks and at the end of the only 9 bikes were returned the other 591 bikes were robbed.

looking at photo,s in London markets today and more cycles than runners in a lonfon marathon at traffic lights,2 weeks today before any possible restart is dicussed,infections could be on the rise,seems londons out of lockdown

everyone will use a bike when the sun is shining,but you will not see many on their bikes going to see Stoke v Bolton on a Monday night in mid November when the icy rain is pelting down.

2 billion to restructure cycle ways..shove that up your Gary you daft Tory t w ats..what do you want us to do next..get on all fours and crawl back into the sea

Managers prove their worth in the bad times not the good ones.

This halfwit and his cohorts come up with a plan for walking and cycling to replace public transport.

We are not living in the Victorian / Edwardian era where we all work t' mill.

I am a regular cycling , but would not want to cycle the 10 miles to work and back each day.

Cycling on our roads is scary , very scary.
Lots of drivers have scant respect for cyclists( yes there are similar cyclists but they are not in a half ton killing machine).

How far would you like to walk to work 4 miles in an hour is a good pace .

The man is an out of touch buffoon if this is his best solution.

If public transport runs at 10% ,then 10% can use it plus a small percentage able and willing to walk or cycle.

The Fallowfield loop is an example of a cycling route .......have a look how many people have been ambushed on it.

We are all going to die at some point so what in the name of f cuk is wrong with taking on this half assed virus individually..we all know there is too many of us anyway..its gotta happen soon anyway

add that 2billion to the rest of the spaffed dosh boris

We are going to get the worst of all worlds. They will wreck the economy then realise theres no option left but to let this virus run its course. Disaster all round.

nail on head dotchnite

the people get what the people wants,just like brexit remember,no qualms about wrecking the economy because 19 mill wanted Brexit,

you should remember it was only 4 months ago,they minted 50p,s, had street parties,yeh you remember

wtf has Brexit got to do with pandemic .......remainer still griping at Democratic vote .

Brexit was going to cut up to 20% of gdp and people said it was a price worth paying
tory,s said for 10 years you cant run defecits and now going to run the biggest defecit ever,

the magic money tree has been found

tory,s happy enough going on live tv tomorrow night to put the final knife in airline companies

Brexit was never going to cut GDP by 20% in a year like this virus will. Why do u make this rubbish up. Whats the point????

As for the magic money tree wait until the medium term to see what effect all this debt has.

He obviously never cycles himself - after successive Tory governments and "austerity" - some of the POT HOLES round my way are as big as my bath-tub! There are Third World countries with better roads than us.

17 million labled the losers were told to suck it up,those who don't want lockdown ,will have to suck it up, granted it must be hard that its ST DORIS  and his merry band of brexiteers who are leading the charge,

Nobody has to suck up lockdown. Plenty of us have already given up on it. Im sure you are still hiding in your wardrobe though.

what you complaining about then

your probably one of those who are going to make what you think will ruin us , last longer ,you don't seem very bright,no surprise there

I like the idea that you think im not bright. Thats hilarious.

you think the lockdown should be lifted but brag about breaking it,hence increasing the chances of it lasting longer, like I say not to bright

everyone will need a batman cape in case it rains when they are on your bike,Matt will get a supply in Turkey no doubt."GRANT TAKE A BOW FOR THE MOST LUDICROUS SUGGESTION EVER.

I just love the idea that someone with the intellect of a boiled potato thinks im not too bright. Its certainly beyond you to understand that its possible to break some of these silly rules without behaving in a manner that would spread this virus.

think chelt,l,poolv madrid,said the same,your one has turned into London,s parks been overrun today,and any increase in transmission will surface just before next lockdown is looked at,like I say not to bright

a tandem bike,two guys can go to the bookies together.

Another lesson going to be learn't the hard way in three weeks time,all those idiots yesterday and today that's what happens when you don't have a proper lockdown..

And punters can get rickshaw bikes for carrying the profits home from the bookies.

A proper lockdown? What exactly would that be?

there,ll be that many bikes chained to lamposts ,the pavements will be swimming in dog pish

good job he did not advise everyone to get a horse.1st time poster.

Quadrophenia 2020   

cyclists v the E SCOOTERS

lycra v beanie hats and combat shorts

Champions league.Manchester City v REAL MADRID.
and here comes the Madrid team arriving on their bikes under government rules.

I have enjoyed  cycling around  ...however it has been sunny and warmish almost every minute of every day so far this lockdown ...  and so little traffic 

not sure how any of these lockdown measures would have worked during the cold, rainy winter months  ...  I'm guessing for many  it would've been a tough gig,  with a few potential mental health cases bubbling up .

Mental health is the big one imo  ...it is also the single most expensive  issue to deal with in modern day Britain   ...it's a real drain

as you,d expect cummings has got a slogan for that
