I do like how the behaviour of a few London twats on fixies, and anecdotes from MPs who have encountered them, directs government policy towards all cycling nationwide.

I'm all for more accountability for cyclists.
License plates might be taking it a bit far, but I definitely think there should be some kind of licensing scheme introduced, and Police really need to be more proactive when it comes to fuckwits jumping red lights/cycling on the pavement/riding without lights. Don't get me started on those wheely cunts.

I don't think that
license plates or some other way to identify bad cyclists on a dashcam would be taking it too far.
Only just far enough IMO

My only issue with numberplates really is how they'd be implemented.
Having a great big square acting as an airbrake isn't so much of an issue when you've got an engine propelling you forwards (and arguably not really an issue for the trundlers popping along to the local supermarket), but it'd be an absolute nightmare if you're commuting 20+ miles a day and trying to maintain speeds northwards of 14mph. Can't imagine the club cyclists would be overly fond of the idea, either.
If they could introduce some method that doesn't overly fuck with aerodynamics, I'd totally support the idea, though.

How's this?
Then you could get their number as they shoot off the pavement across the front of your car, narrowly avoiding death or when they illegally run a red light, and you nearly sideswipe them.

Only if
you make it from the same material as a knife.
If you make it from some sort of flexible material, not so much.
Now that the plate is aerodynamic and made from stuff so soft it won't cause lethal head injuries, is it OK?

99% of cyclists in London are totally cool considering the amout of bullshit they have to put up with
1% are complete cunts, much like some people on here...

Exactly the same proportion as car drivers.

The inverse, in fact.
Knowingly poisoning people and corrupting the environment of the only planet we have is extremely fucking far from totally cool.

if an observant cyclist runs a red light
and all the lights are red, with no one moving and no pedestrians, who is the cyclist endangering?

So, breaking the law in a limited and specific way?
