The demands for Trump to release the FBI's #EpsteinFiles are as bi-planes buzzing around King Kong on the Empire State building. Eventually the monster falls.

🛢️ IN my view, one of the biggest single mistakes in the last Budget was not to increase Fuel Duty. It would have encouraged a switch away from fossil-fuel and reduced the level and cost of Govt. borrowing. Should there not be an expectation of small, annual real rises in the price of the Precious?

NORTH London's New Labour Haringey Council have a dull, conservative, hide-bound Highways Department that is on record as being opposed to segregated cycle lanes. Not the only example, but here's their actual, official statement during Covid lockdown:
March 19, 2025 at 8:12 PM
HARINGEY on the other hand, will not pedestrianise. Now and again, their PR will encourage walking and cycling, but their powerful conservative Highwaymen have held up progress on our carriageways for two decades. It is now time for the elected to stand and deliver.

THIS afternoon, these photos from Tottenham Hale, N17. Haringey Council are densifying housing around a transport hub: bus, rail and Underground. Also a big junction for the fossil-fuelled. Pollution levels may in the highest 1% or 2%in the UK. Does this area qualify?

ON Bravery:
This council published the creditable 20-page Haringey Cycling Action Plan … in 2004. Such is their courage. That action plan is deleted and replaced by another action plan. Two decades later and there is little to show for their supposed walking and cycling agenda. Apart from tokenism:
January 27, 2025 at 12:32 PM
IN my view, the present PM lacks principles and needs to be replaced. The tension between the present and the predictable future is growing. Short-term v long term. The interests of the current- and of the next-generation are at odds and likely to grow. Our electoral & political system cannot cope.

A piece of caustic political satire is rejected—shamefullly—in a democracy. Yet in another example of the Streisand Effect (q.v.), it receives more exposure than it might have otherwise. Full credit to cartoonist Ann Telnaes for her brilliant rough draft. A sign of the times?

🌀 Nearly four years ago, the council set themselves a series of climate action “deadlines”. Here are their Deadlines for their actions to be completed by 2024. While many Haringey council action plans are oxymorons, this one followed the formal declaration of an emergency (in March 2019).

🌀 A climate of sclerosis:
In March 2019 North London's Haringey Council unanimously Declared a “Climate Emergency”. The local authority is expert at publishing Strategies & glossy Plans. In March 2021, they produced an action plan. Over the last five years unfortunately there has been little action.
