Do you want a mayor who will bring about a revolution in London?

Subsidise the ferry service for a year (to allow heavily discounted journeys) and see what results.

Still probably cheaper than paying Arup (the consulting engineer, not the audaxer) to bung out some studies on a bridge proposal. Not to mention your yearly maintenance / revenue budget once the capital is spent.

As for this

Imagine a minimum wage, two job cleaner living on Rotherhithe. If they work in Canary Wharf, they're still taking cycle/bus/tube/train the long way round because an extra £750 a year wouldn't be an afforable expense, even if the boats are bigger and carry more bikes

I agree with you regarding lack of provision for this demographic, but those in charge of London have already shown that they are happy for such people to bus in from the depths of Zone 6 so that people's toilets can be cleaned. They are not about to build them a bridge, not unless there's some 'regeneration' kickback.

You would be better served sinking money into a discount Oyster scheme for low-paid workers than another 'flagship' project.

Incidentally, wonder if 'Dan Cooper' ever came back to check this thread. Or whether he was just parachuted in briefly

Granddad joke more liek.

I'm here.

Happy to answer any questions you have, and also happy to meet and chat through our policies with those that are more sceptical.

Do drop me a DM if you'd like to do so, we have an event next tuesday that you are all more than welcome to attend and pose questions also.

Cheers

Dan

I suppose the question from me is does Christian Wolmar realise the risks of courting the vote of a bunch of rambunctious, sweary internet pillocks and has he put measure in place to mitigate them?

Yeh man. Is he truly ready for lufguss to skid into the event, make a bike pile outside then start knocking back tramp beers and calling eveyone cnuts?

Bridge and open door solution:

Border controls on every bridge, with mandatory shootings for anyone who looks, sounds, or has a name that seems a bit forrin, and straight to the gulag for anyone unable to produce papers.

This will solve many problems, especially those to do with housing, population, and congestion on the roads. Vote bothwell! The common sense voice of the common people!

They'd just start using tunnels..

Someone's been playing Papers Plz again ...

Both of your names sound a bit suspect. Into the van with you both.

I would say yes.

How can a Labour mayoral candidate take money from property developers? What do the donors expect in return?
