Scaremongering ?

[Justinslow]

Just spotted this in a copy of Hello magazine (don't ask) from 28 September 2015.

It seems she had an accident in London!

If you overtake buses that close, how else is your judgement faulty?

Nose going numb because it's made of wood and grown massively?

Scaremongering of the highest order.

 

[Justinslow]

It would take someone with a much better/clearer view of the situation than me!
She was mainly talking about London then generalised to "Britain" at the end of the piece, mainly talking about women being at more risk -because they are more "polite" and mainly talking about her own injuries! But she did recognise the need for cycling on health grounds (obesity diabetes etc).

I can't read what she's actually saying, but I note that the picture is captioned "a female cyclist" and not, for example, "the author"

She's not saying anything. She's spouting a thousand words or so of random bollocks in order to fill a column and plug her book.

That I believe is correct, the inset picture is of her though, not on the busy streets of London though!

tightly scripted aphorisms

Stupid cow.

kathy bloody lette, making up stuff for personal aggrandisement since 1981

Edit: skimmed the above without reading closely, so another TMN to TMN from me.

Stupid cow.

Not quite how I would have put it - but bang on in sentiment.

 

[Justinslow]

No one with any sense takes her seriously.

But do people with any sense read/look at "Hello"?? (Apart from me )
It's quite a platform to talk a load of nonsense to a rather large audience. Think of all the places these mags end up, doctors surgeries, hair dressers etc, not to mention those that actually buy it (I didn't buy it)

Her inability to ride a bike is not my fault. But I am glad she managed to get a book out of her inaptitude.

It must be a riveting read.

Her book isn't about cycling, it's a novel.

Tilly has the day from hell when she's sacked from her barristers' chambers in the morning, then finds her husband in bed with her former best friend in the afternoon. She escapes to her mother, Roxy - a sassy solicitor whose outrageous take on men, work and family life is the despair of her more conventional daughter. Roxy comes up with a radical plan for their future - they'll set up an all-female law firm which will only champion women who have been cheated, put upon, attacked, ripped off or ruined by the men in their lives.

I just threw up a bit in my mouth
