I think I like Steve Baker, but I reserve the right to reserve judgment. However, with a statement like this, what's not to like? "It's not the economy, stupid. It's everything, stupid."
I also like this:
Today, I rode to church on my KTM 950 Supermoto, which revealed a couple of top tips I would like to share. On the ride home, I assembled these into an illustration of the clear choice in British politics.
Motorcyclists: you are responsible for detecting imminent inattentive, irresponsible or unthinking behaviour in other motorists.
Over-regulating causes resentment.
There is nothing sensible the Government could have done to prevent that driver turning left across me today. Banning bikes, banning cars or physically enforcing lane disciple are all either absurd, impractical or tyrannical. It was up to the driver to drive thoughtfully and responsibly and up to me to account for that person’s failure to do so.
Update: I forgot to mention that I went to high school in High Wycombe, where Mr. Baker is a Conservative PPC.
