From the CCTV two officers were stood by the main gate, he cycled up to the main gate and then was directed to the side gate which was opened for him. It just seems to me they went out of their way to be awkward.

This was alledgedly pointed out to him and he apparently refused to concede the point.
The rest is History.

Swap 'elitist posh boy Tory' for Jewish, black, Muslim, French or homosexual and that would be moderated, deleted or locked.
Strange that the usual suspects don't see fit to point out this particular example of ism stereotyping. Anything goes if you've a few quid in your pocket, all bets are off.

Easy_Rider":1y38h8mx said:Never mind who called who what and putting aside any prejudices, I want to know is it policy that cycles must exit through the pedestrian exit or the officer decided or was told not to open the main gate for cycles.
Judging from Mitchell's reaction it seemed that cycles do usually exit from the main gate.
So to me it seemed either there was a security issue that day and they wanted to limit the main gate opening or the officer was just being an arse.
Either way I think it highlights bicycles awkward position on our roads, is it a vehicle or not?
Anyone know or care?

Seriously? I'm not even going to grace that with a response
