Some people, when confronted with industrial levels of toxic waste generated by global corporations, prefer to complain about litter.

So have we stumbled on one virtue of this ID scheme: Boris Johnson will no longer be able to work?

I've had enough of listening. Time for action on low traffic.

My letter in the Oxford Times today
Your correspondent says 'we should listen' when it comes to Oxford's perennial transport issues.

I've been listening.

I've listened to people say that children's safety doesn't matter, because drivers can't be expected to slow down.

I've listened to people say that bus passengers don't matter, because drivers have more money.

I've listened to people say that traffic jams don't matter, because cities will always be congested.

I've listened to people say that collisions don't matter, because 'accidents will happen'.

I've listened to people say that vehicle emissions don't matter, because climate science isn't real.

And I've listened to people say that we mustn't reduce traffic, because that might inconvenience drivers.

I've listened, and I'm still waiting to hear a single effective alternative to low traffic.

This huckster knows exactly what he’s doing: creating chaos and feeding his base. But broadcasters must call this BS out. Would he refuse cancer treatment because he has ‘no idea’ if it works? Or stand in front of a moving car because the evidence of the damaging effects of a collision is unproven?

"We were told thalidomide was a safe drug and it wasn't..."

Nigel Farage says he has 'no idea' if Donald Trump is right about paracetamol being linked to autism.

✨ This autumn, communities across the UK will come together for glow rides as part of #MyRideOurRight.

We’ll light up the night and shine a spotlight on the need for safer streets and better cycling infrastructure, especially for women riding after dark.

I was walking down a street in New York and I thought how lovely it was, with the trees and the light. Tried to take a photo and this came out. It’s incredible how blind we become to the ugliness of cars. They really do mess things up. Yet somehow we manage to filter them out.

Thanks Anneliese. In that spirit, does the local Labour Party plan to listen to Citizens Assembly that it was so keen to establish?

Interesting new paper on the challenge increasing numbers of SUVs pose to climate efforts.

“The current trend runs the risk of undoing climate achievements and solidifying unsustainable mobility habits unless there is a structural change in both urban design and consumer norms.”
