A crazed war monger, who had probably just left the commons bar, mows down a cyclist trying to save the planet he is intent on destroying.
Whilst it is standard procedure to breathalise drivers involved in accidents no mention has been made of whether this was done.

Conservative MP Simon Burns was involved in a collision with a cyclist as he left Parliament in his car.
The cyclist, who is believed to be in his 20s, has been airlifted to the Royal London Hospital in east London, where he was in a stable condition.
It is believed the Chelmsford MP was driving a 4x4 vehicle out of the main gates of the House of Commons when the accident happened in Parliament Square at 6.06pm on Thursday.
A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "A collision occurred as a 4x4 exited the main gates. The vehicle stopped at the scene, the male driver was uninjured."
No arrests have been made. The spokesman gave no further details.
[comment - good to see they've got their priorities right in that all they care about is the health of the MP]
Mr Burns said he would not comment on the accident.
Peace campaigner Brian Haw, who has been demonstrating opposite Parliament for nearly seven years, said: "I heard the impact - it was quite loud.
"It looked as though the cyclist had no time to stop before hitting the front.
"The cyclist, he was in a bad way and was being looked after by the doctors. I hope he is all right."
