""Well that happens to be bloody perfect! I've already arranged a date for a televisual interview on Beeb Five in which you and some bloke from Hertford (I think) called Keith (or something) will be invited to slug it out. "Keith" has agreed as long as you promise not to mention Palestine or Jim Carroll. Are we on or what?""

Sorry Steve,

1. I'm not the right guy for the job, since I actually do have faith, though emphatically not religion, not even yours I'm afraid.

2. I don't as you rather gently put it "have a thing about cyclists". I have a thing about irresponsible, aggressive and/or dangerous cyclists. I also have a thing about people who will go to any lengths to minimise the size of that problem and who persist in saying that it is in some way insignificant.

3. I have no intention whatever of allowing KAoH to set the agenda for any meeting televised or not, and would in fact rather spend an hour in the company of Nigel Farage and Nick Griffin. They are at least honestly racist.

Don T.
