The group seems to be enjoying (only in certain quarters) a spate of
lengthy posts, some repeated several times, of drivers being fined or
imprisoned.

Flooding the group in this way is one tactic designed to divert attention
away from something the author of such posts would rather see pushed into
the background.

Any ideas on what that might be? Success of Brexit? Failures of the EU
dinosaur? Cyclist antisocial behaviour? Dutch death rates? Whinging
cyclists? Has some bike scheme flopped or the true costs emerged? The fact
that all the government money pumped into cycling initiatives via
self-interested parties actually comes from the taxpayer?

Most of the bicycling 'farcilities' I have seen are such that I would
rather bike on the road. Cost to the taxpayer = £0.
