    Evening News article. The MSP in question is Alison Johnstone, so not unsurprising.

    The comments aren't unsurprising either. 'Somewhat predictable' are the words that spring to mind...

    I see that someone in the comments claims to have made a FOI request to the Police to find out the number of cyclists who have been fined in the last six months. Answer = two.

    “Later this month we will unveil details of the Mutual Respect road safety campaign, which has been developed with input from key safety partners and is being backed by funding of £424,000 from the Scottish Government to help change behaviour on our roads.”

    Still looking forward to this...

    What would it take for Keith Brown to be sacked? Didn't one transport minister lose his job over gritting? Is Alex Salmond continually reminding us that not anticipating a snow fall is a more serious political offence than allowing cyclists to be repeatedly killed?
