A British government minister has been given the task of endorsing and creating plans to introduce number plates and insurance for all bike riders.
Surely this can’t be happening?

Freedom isn’t free, nor is a bankrupt socialist system. Pick the better one and pay up.

The idea is flawed, how can an insurance company gauge what experience and safety history a bike rider has to give an insurance quote?
A cross the board charge for all would be better, the insurance scam is just to put a name and address on the bike rider, I’m against this red tape.

That's not fair....you aren't paying for MOT stickers yet?

It will make insurance companies froth at the mouth at this prospective financial windfall they (will) might be getting.

Petrol cars will soon be obsolete. Most of us can't afford those EVs, so bicycles it is for us! Sounds like UK is prepared and getting ready.

Better remember where you parked!
There is an interesting side note to using bicycles for commuting that I saw firsthand while working in China. Let's say your commute to work now, with an auto, is 30 minutes. How long is that commute on a bicycle? With your morning coffee or tea, can you make it that long without a potty stop? I saw a whole lotta Chinamen using those landscape bushes along the road to block the view. Talk about a public hazard!

In this dystopian future, how long until individual people will be required to wear an identifying number on their clothes to even be permitted to walk around outside?

GIVE THEM TIME!
Soon one will have to take a written and riding test, and pay the fee for that!

Is this legal if you are riding through Royal Parks?
I used to live in Notting Hill and cycle to Knightsbridge for work across Hyde Park.
I suppose the common roads of The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea I used might get me if I still lived there.

Cyclists have a powerful lobby and the government has bent over backwards to accommodate them. We are now in a position where you can be prosecuted for getting closer to a bike than 6 feet, which means bikes can now hold the traffic up with the backing of the law, yet at the same time many cyclists behave dangerously on the road, including riding on paths and jumping red lights. There has also been cases of pedestrians being seriously injured and killed by reckless cyclists. Its another example of socialist rights without responsibilities. It time cyclists were made accountable and made to obey the same traffic laws as other people, and to have the same insurance cover to compensate other people when they are at fault.

You are totally right about rights without responsibilities. (Probably another long topic)
But enforcing traffic laws does not require license plates.
I also disagree about insurance. The liability caused by bicycles is going to be far lower than that for a larger vehicle. It would be absurd if bicycle riders were required to have insurance.

I watch UK Freesat mainly, i have a 2 meter satellite dish on the roof pointed at Astra 2E 28.2 degrees East. Its all mainly repeats and american shows, but then whats the alternative, the constant tsunami of woke bollox from Uk terrestial TV.
Some of the stuff is mildy entertaining and amusing, Judge Judy, Swamp People, Gold Divers, Pawn Stars, Storage Wars and other such variations on a theme, Plus you get some UK TV like Traffic Cops, Night Cops etc. I like those because I like to watch how the police operate, know thy enemy sort of thing. Plus there´s Talking Pictures, lots of old movies and Film4, and Sky Arts ' they do Portrait Artist of the Year and Landscape Artist of the year. I also use an andriod box, a Mecool 8s and various streamers like Redbox. and a paid for service i can turn on and off monthy, TVMucho

i like british sitcoms and some of your well done dramas, etc., which i can watch, for free off my antenna.
one difference and perhaps why you guys are charged, your stuff is ad free...here, the advertisers pay the cost.
ours is, on a typical 1 hour prog., 30 min. of ads, 30 min. of show.
thats why the remote was invented.
