The news was initally reported via Bike Biz, with a headline “Government joins #boycottaddisonlee“. The UK Government’s Chief Procurement Officer John Collington has been reported as saying “We expect all private hire [...] To be a good politician, you have to be able to spin well. Frances Maude deserves a medal for the bull he’s just been spouting on the BBC news channel. “It is very hard to know what the dispute is about.

The questioning, as you might expect, was slanted towards “why have the Liberals got [...] When we elect a Mayor to our local Councils, his job is to be an impartial ambassador for the Borough you live in. When you elect someone to Mayor of London, their job is a bit more involved. Bikers have been protesting in Westminster to say no to the motorbike parking charges.
