Am I the only one to think this is madness.
They're not driverless
They're increasing the plethora of traffic in London

Not sure you've moved forward that far in the analogy. Perhaps something from the 1980s?

Research by Imperial College shows -
"People in poorer health are more likely to vote Reform UK, PA Media reports."
And a higher proportion are over 65.
Apparently there is a similar trend in America amongst Republican voters.

I genuinely wonder why?

Posting this because someone has actually mentioned Kanal. I must have watched this as a teenager in a late showing on TV. It's an astonishing film set during the Warsaw uprising and in the sewers. As bleak an ending as you could imagine.

I remember this case and the outrageous miscarriage of justice. Even worse in some ways is how she has been left largely hanging in the wind.

Possibly - but if I have at any point defaced or scrunched up a book I buy a new copy to replace it.

Absolutely not - a well read book should look in pristine condition. A trashed book hasn't been treated with respect.

In the scheme of things it's a token gesture but I plan to buy as many of the banned books that I can - I do have a fair number already.
