What the actual fuck?
I’m intrigued, which part of the story are you saying that about?
Most likely the attempt to depedestrianise an area.
That was my thought, but it could also have been aimed at the people fighting against the depedestrianisation.
It’s insane that this guy was ever allowed back near the levers of power after being caught vote rigging.
What’s to say he didn’t just learn how not to get caught next time? 5 years was too short of a ban for dodgy Rahman
Interesting. Obviously safer streets are good and I generally support schemes like this (I cycle pretty much everywhere in London, and walk or take public transport when I don’t cycle). But Rahman was elected on a platform that included reversing these measures. I’m not totally convinced that he should be prevented from doing so, even though I don’t agree with him.
If the campaigners are right and what he’s done is illegal then opinions don’t really matter, he shouldn’t be allowed to conitnue pushing this course of action.
