If things progress this way in the UK, expect many sensible people converting to Sikhism.
So many commuters are now displaying ovine independence of thought, donning pieces of polysterene on their head and thinking they are being safe.
Judges show their equine understanding of science and penalise helmet-less cyclists who are harmed by others.
For the few of us still left with common sense, the only hope may be the Motorcycle Crash Helmets (Religious Exemption) Act 1976, which exempts turban-wearing Sikhs from wearing motorcycle helmets.
I am off to buy a copy of the Guru Granth Sahib.

Andrea, for god's sake – “fake Sikhs”? They are just normal Indians, wearing turbans, as many do in certain areas, regardless of their religion. It's a bit like calling someone in a white coat a “fake Pope”. It's not that big a deal, and I hate to be picky, but given your previous, far more offensive postings (now removed, without apology), I thought I'd try to educate you wherever necessary.
Germany is a bit more sensible than the UK in this way, but if the pressure gets a lot greater I may be asking for your turban supplier.
