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 unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
