I'm pretty sure this is at least the third time the BBC have had a story on this - not sure why they keep forgetting that they've covered it.

Although the text says
Cyclists and other visitors are being accused of putting themselves and others in danger by interfering with the ancient practice by ignoring warning signs and spooking ponies during the annual custom.
I have yet to find a comment on other visitors.
None of the comments from readers of the Daily Hate mentioned illegal immigrants at least.
Give 'em time. I did see Brexit/Remain in the comments (didn't quite get who was being labelled with what though), so I'm sure it won't take long before one of the darling little fascists makes that leap to immigrants coming over here wreckin' our forests, scarin' our ponies, scarin' our pedestrians.
I see one comment in this thread already about cyclists possibly using loud horns to scare horses deliberately.
One decent comment
90 animals killed and injured by car drivers in the New Forest in 2019. Number of animals killed by cyclists: 0.
That's a fact though. Not sure the Mail reader does facts.
Let me guess: is it going to be on about how ponies are killed on a daily basis by Evil Cyclists, and how hard-pressed speeding three tonne SUVs are regularly held up by slow-coach cyclists, and then about how Something Needs To Be Done Cos Road Tax?
Way way worse. More along the lines of "let's just string them up on crosses"
"Crucifixion?" "Good... Over there on the left, one cross each".
