Again, I say, this mass chant, "You can stuff the #coronation up your arse," pretty much unimaginable in the reign of QEII? But the game has changed for KCIII and this kind of mass contempt seems a daily occurrence?
“And now we turn to our Celtic cousins in Scotland, to see how <they> intend to approach the oath of allegiance to KC3…” A singing lesson, for all Australians.

This actually isn’t surprising at all, but it still needs to said over & over — the biggest barrier to more urban biking in cities is the fear of cars. “A study confirms that if we are serious about getting people on bikes, they need a safe place to ride.” treehugger.com/fear-of-cars-…
