RE: JA Genter cycles in labour to hospital - Oh_hunnihunni - 22-12-2021
She does her job. At least we hear from her and know her name, unlike several other MPs who disappear into anonymity as soon as they are elected. On this occasion what she was doing was nothing to do with her job. The press though love a human interest story. And critics love any excuse.
It is interesting how our political positions, among other personal standpoints are revealed by who we attack on social media. After all, the only real complaint here is about a woman's choice of transport during a rather important moment in her private life - not her performance as a leader. Who'd've thought a labouring woman on a bike would cause such angst in a few male hearts...

Can tow bike home behind the cargo bike, or in the cargo bike.

Of course not.
My gran had a lovely phrase 'I may be cabbage looking child, but I'm not green...'
