It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

£10,000, but there's barely a distinction on this level of gross negligence:

Tests revealed that 3 out of 4 helmets failed safety requirements catastrophically, with one helmet recording results that indicated a 100% risk of fatality in a collision.

Pathetic to tout this as a win. That company should've been shuttered and had every penny of their assets taken, with the owners imprisoned and never allowed to do business again.

This is the website of that company, somehow still up of course: https://bikerslifestyle.co/

Just another piece of evidence that we live in capitalist dictatorships masquerading as "democracy".

Add it to the pile.
