Dear Editor,

I was on the bus going home in the evening and a man ran out into the
road, the bus driver just about missed him. I wish to alert people to
the dangers of wearing dark clothing on winter nights, with just your
face or hands showing. Especially so, if you have a dull complexion.

Many Ethnographic studies have shown that dull skin reflects less light
than fair skin. Felix Von Luschan at the beginning of the twentieth
century showed that dull skin as a reflectivity of 24%, whilst fair skin
had a reflectivity of between 50% and 64%.

I know that the middle class liberals with their political correctness,
like us to think that skin colour doesn’t matter. However, in this case
the middle class liberals have taken equality past the bounds of
credibility, considering people lives are in danger from serious injury
or death.

I think particularly, if you have a dull complexion then it would be
safer to wear light clothing in the dark.

In this case it was nothing to do with the clothing, rather the man ran
into the road, probably in a moment of carelessness without looking
properly. I'd prefer it if people drove motor vehicles so they can stop
in the distance they can see to be clear, but of course the right wing
extremist sociopaths abhor any suggestion of taking responsibility for
their actions, or the costs they inflict on others, and much prefer to
make victims of others and then victim blame. It's like a wet dream for
them. Animals, fallen trees, debris, potholes are also dark and unlit,
and you ought to be paying attention to what is around you and driving
at a speed appropriate for the conditions, if you wish to avoid crashing
into things. If you are incapable of this or just can't be bothered,
hand your driving license back to the DVLA as you are not fit to be
behind the wheel.

But pedestrians also have a responsibility not to act in a dangerous
manner. It can't be all down to drivers. Anyway who cares, Egginton
probably made the whole thing up in order to pursue his race agenda.
