London will be the new Amsterdam with this wonderful bicycling scheme for all of two weeks except without the brothels and weed shops to cycle to.

After about a fortnight some cunning entrepreneurs will get every bike off the street into the back of lorries…to be repainted and fenced off elsewhere. Boris will give a press conference, condemning the ‘soulless oiks’ for giving Britain a bad name over the Dutch:

‘I mean bloody hell you…you lot have made fools of bicycle schemes compared to these windmill loving clog wearing potheads! Their soceity is intact and, and ours is just made an example of by our own citizens – don’t you think you soulless oiks have wrecked my optimism and made me even more jaded now?’

As is common, Boris demonstrates his virtuoso skills of analogy making:

‘If I had a house from Fisher Price, this act would be the equivalent of stomping a few times on it. It would still be there but shoddy and buckled compared with my friend’s house which is pristine and wonderful. Yes it is a disgrace and the authorities will be after the bikelifters very quickly indeed.’
