Mark Hughes = Judas Escariot.
erm, are these cyclists the same people who were riding around Manchester last friday. I am all for giving up driving and using bikes, but they nearly run me over on a pedestrain crossing outside Victoria station. Does a red light not mean stop to cyclists? And all the leaflets that had on their bikes were falling off and littering the roads.Good work guys!
Anonymous rocks! Mark Hughes was a legend now he is nothing more than a Thai hooker. The Judas Iscariot, back stabbing, money grabbing, hypocritical, turncoat, blue moon singing Bertie Magoo. I hope he is ok with the fact he will now have to relocate to Stockport to be near his loyal, dont bother turning up every week at the council house fans !!!!!!
Word on the street is that Cynical Mess, sorry, Critical Mass, are planning to piggy back this protest on Friday with their own ride to remind people that peddle power (rather than petrol) is key to the future.
AGREE WITH THE SENTIMENT, SOLD OUT FOR NINE MILLION PIECES OF SILVER, BUT ITS ISCARIOT.
