MODERATORS
Of course, Conservatives would dream this nonsense up.
Typical Conservative strategy: Focus on a non-issue, and make it seem so outrageously important, that people can't help but be outraged.
The UK Government reports 9 pedestrian fatalities involving cyclists... from 2018 to 2022. During the same period, there were over 1600 deaths caused by drivers of motorcycles, cars, buses, or trucks.
And for some balance, this pedestrian only got three years for killing a cyclist.
