Lib Dems? Sense?

They are a bunch of cowardly shits who sold us down the river by abstaining from the vote on the Lisbon Treaty; thus handing victory to the Labour scum. Assholes.

And the rest

It's not just the travelling distance, it's the actual risks involved in the new test. I've done the old brake and swerve before, but it's hairy enough even having passed my test and having had 18 months riding experience... and it doesn't take much to push that little bit too much to the side and lose the bike. I'm wondering who will be found to be liable for injuries resulting from expecting novice riders to repeatedly perform such a manouvre. I mean, it's not just about whether you end up in a collision with another vehicle, I'm sure we'll hear about learners having the bike land on their leg or ankle and the like... who will take responsibility for their loss of earnings and hardship?
