I certainly don't believe much the BBC puts out on this subject.. Do you?
Are you still so naive not to believe it's journalists aren't biased or push political viewpoints in their output?
The competition in the media world ensures that very often they just speculate on things people want to read/hear..
I read, see and detect much more hysteria on the subject from British sources than from others. I wonder why?
Thank You Matt .. I'll frame that and bring it out in another conversation sometime.. when you are not so happy with me..
BTW, what I was trying to illustrate with above photos and videos is that London has totally given itself over to the car.. Street Markings, railings all give preference to the car /road traffic.
It's time for residents, pedestrians, shoppers to take back the streets and have the 'right of way' again.. The best means of getting around in big cities is by public transport and that must become the priority.
its not just parents with buggies who will miss out
TW I was just about to post this link but you beat me to it. This is so sad, life is hard for many people and getting tougher.
Here in Berlin, where we often have much harsher winters than London, the Senate ensures that once there are minus temperatures, the transport authority leave at least four underground stations (N, S, E & W) open all through the night during the week.
At weekends all transport runs 24h so all stations are open anyway for the homeless to use to sleep in the relative warm.
Many however, prefer their freedom and some freeze every year from sleeping in the open. Help organisations do scour the regular haunts of the homeless during extreme weather rounding up 'the strays' but some still do die..
At least the no 29 has become a double decker. Last time I took it, I counted a majority of passengers NOT touching in. Apparently losing bendy buses will save £7million in lost fares. The 29 wasn't known as the free bus for nothing. That's why they want to phase them out, though they won't say so...

Michael, that's Boris' chrissy pressy to you ... ho ho ho
