Labour MP #VictimBlames petrol stations, demands that they don't sell to 'suspicious' riders.

Because, as we all know, there's nothing that pump monkeys love more than to put their own earnings on the line by pre-authorising a sale to an unplated crosser with three balaclava-wearing bipedal rats hanging off of it.

If we can only cut off the fuel supply of bike thieves, they'll have no option but to give up their shenanigans. There's no other way that they can obtain it, of course, because that would be unlegal.

Hopefully they won't be vilified and prosecuted for nudging the little buggers off with their cars now,

One Courier tried to knock of the pricks off but sadly missed...

Good men and true.

Just a shame that they didn't put the one that they caught into a fatal restraint position, so he'll be out on bail by now.

More outstanding journalism…

[Rogerborg]

Awaiting the day when I get to be a Have A Go Hero.

Al Beeb's top tips: "avoid wearing heels to and from work, and instead invest in some roll-up flats for the commute".

Not a parody. At least, not intentionally.

Well hows this for bike crime then 430 a week in London

"A new campaign to encourage drivers to lock, chain and cover their scooters and motorbikes has also been launched."

Problem solved.

[Rogerborg]

Sure, the #VictimBlaming continues apace.

Ah, but, "In May, police recorded 1,154 incidents in which a scooter, moped or motorcycle was used to commit a crime, a fall of more than 55% since July 2017 when 2,593 offences were recorded"

Which isn't necessarily the same as reported, or occurred.

Fudge me, they're really proud of those 4 "slimline" F700GSes, aren't they.

Another day in London, the 2nd of June to be specific:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5818031/moped-thugs-threaten-driver-hammer-knife-jumping-bonnet-robbery.html

Luckily, robust action is being taken to disrupt stabby stabby yoots as "Anti-knife metal detectors were in place at a busy London Tune [sic] station as police continued their crackdown on the gang violence that has plagued the capital.

Travellers are [sic] Vauxhall, south London, walked through the arches to get to their trains under the watchful eye of a police officer."

AND

"As well as stations, knife arches we installed at branches of McDonalds in Croydon and Woolwich.

​In Croydon, the knife arch was set up temporarily in the restaurant's doorway for two hour periods."
