Stupidly excited about this tonight… saw Bowie live at Milton Keynes for the Serious Moonlight tour, and again in ‘95 at Wembley, still love pretty much everything he did up to Let’s Dance (esp Hunky Dory, Diamond Dogs, Young Americans & Scary Monsters)

1/ Yesterday I spoke at UCL about the transformational benefits of Low Traffic Neighbourhoods.
This is what LTNs do:
* Halve road injuries.
* Eliminate rat-running.
* Reduce pollution, even at boundaries.
* Reduce street crime.

All this moaning from the car industry about weak demand for EVs making the 2030 target hard. Here’s a simple win-win for the environment and car makers: immediately remove the 5p fuel duty cut, and confirm that fuel duty will rise every year by above inflation. That’s the consumer incentive sorted.

Yet another massive crash on Lordship Park N16 this week due to ridiculous driving, in what is meant to be a 20mph zone. Luckily no pedestrians hurt. Apparently TFL won’t install speed cameras because there haven’t been sufficient deaths on the road. Seriously..

Just fyi, using voice via an Echo/Alexa speaker, you can rewind BBC radio up to 6 hours. E.g. “Alexa, ask BBC Sounds to rewind to 7am”. On our mobile apps and web the rewind window is limited to the start of the current live programme, so in most cases much less than 6 hours #bbcsounds

Less than 2 years to the American midterm elections, after which, assuming Trump hasn’t changed the constitution, he’ll be a lame duck as the Republican Party focus on who the next leader will be. Silver linings etc
