London Ambulance Service were on the local news recently saying that London Mayor Ken Livingstones policy of removing road capacity and restricting the movement of vehicles by width restrictions, re-phasing of trafic lights and installation of speed bumps is causing 500 deaths per year.

Transport for Londons spokes person said in defence think of the childrens lives it saves.

Apparently 5000 people die in the UK each year due to infections caught after going into hospital and up to 25000 die due to medical mistakes, also 5000 die on the roads in the UK each year of which according to the Governmants own research by TRL 4 percent is caused by speeding! Why in light of these figures are the motorists so Victimised?

I'm fairly sure the car hating lunatic Red Ken will not give a damn about killing 500 people a year. Most of them probably own cars and deserve to die.
