Fascism, cars and cycling

I am sorry to say that there seem to be a growing number of bloggers out there who are not only displaying extreme ingratitude for the marvellous cycling and walking infrastructure which their local councils make available to them, but who actually have the temerity to use formulations like the Highways Department (the Fascist wing of any County Council)

Fascism? I ask you! What on earth do cars have to do with fascism?
