Isn’t it worth keeping an open mind here and looking at the emerging evidence of harm or benefit rather than jumping, Daily Mail fashion, on freak incidents and cleaving to conspiracies? If policy makers took your line, cyclists would have to wear helmets and pass a test at this point. The jury is still out on e-scooters, but they look like a lot of fun to me.

This is a good move and will hopefully remove one of the main incentives people may have for using e-scooters:

The usual questions as to whether it's enforceable, and by how much it'll really reduce e-scooter use. For instance, if they're legalised, which Government corruption will ensure they will be, there might be storage facilities at major stations, so that their use might still be encouraged despite the ban on taking them on Tube trains. Still, every little helps in trying to avert one of the worst public health disasters since the invention of the internal combustion engine.
There was an e-unicycle fire:
I assume that must mean one of those with a gyroscope à la Segway as opposed to a proper unicycle.
