Crime and Policing BillContribution
Let us start just 50 yards from our own entrance. I was crossing the traffic lights just outside our new prison gates when the lights were red for cars and cyclists and I had a cyclist belt past just in front of me, and one just behind me, almost touching me. Three weeks ago, I deliberately stopped and blocked one who was trying to get through when the lights were red for them, and shouted at them to get back. I call on all pedestrians to do that: shout them down, block their way on the pavements, but do not touch them in any circumstances.
