  • Maybe. What else is there for us? Lobbying? Letter- writing campaigns?

    A couple of weeks ago the GLA were to discuss road safety and dangerous junctions. The tories walked out before the discussion:

    TFL were warned explicitly about dangerous junctions years ago. They did nothing.

    I'm not 100% sure direct action such as is proposed is the best way, but everything else seems to make no difference.

    And I really don't see the campaign as being anti-motorist, just anti-bad motorist. Deaths on the roads cause congestion, if the protest leads to a re-design of the worst junctions then maybe long-term congestion will decrease,and fewer people will die.
    If you read up you'll find listed various measures we take to campaign and get changes made.

    Maybe it's not doing enough. Maybe this more aggressive way is better. I just don't like a nameless, faceless organisation coming along and saying they are anti-violence and yet presenting their case in the most emotive language I've read on the matter.
