E-Scooter Tragedy
JUNE 26, 2023
By Paul Homewood

 
This was an accident waiting to happen:
 

An e-scooter rider has died following a collision on Blackpool promenade.

The man, in his 30s, died at Royal Preston Hospital after sustaining serious head and chest injuries. His next of kin have been informed.

Police were called to the incident on Sunday at 12.40pm, near the Grand Hotel on Middle Walk.

Specialist officers are now supporting his family.


Police are appealing for footage after a man died following a collision involving an e-scooter.

The police have made it clear that they do not know all the facts yet. But it has been clear for a long time that these e-scooters are fundamentally unsafe, both for riders and pedestrians.

Would they have ever been allowed for use in public, if it had not been for the obsession with Net Zero?

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.
