Maybe a vehicle that can mount another vehicle should be subject to some kind of regulation before being driven in the millions on our streets?

Anyone describing a car as a "weapon" should have their licence immediately and permanently revoked.

Well that's OK then.

Set fire to a police van: 14 years

Set fire to a hotel full of asylum seekers: 9 years.

Neither of these is acceptable, but the difference in sentencing speaks volumes about which lives are considered worth protecting and whose aren't.

Ads saying the quiet part out loud.

Advertising - and consumerism generally - is a project to replace relationships between people with dependence on things.

Very frustrating that Bristol Council have approved a new digital billboard, despite massive opposition.

What is the point of a planning system that puts absolutely zero weight on local people's views?

We need change. Agree? Head to actionnetwork.org/letters/bett...

Expanding an airport in a climate crisis is an act of sociopathic violence. Let us resist this.

The phrase "best of both worlds" is being used to advertise hybrid cars - those that use an electric motor and petrol engine.

Hybrids are powered by fossil fuels and still pollute from the exhaust.

Ads like this are deeply misleading, but the ad regulator won't act 😡

Great to hear Transport Sec Louise Haigh talking about road safety and how road deaths are treated as some kind of natural disaster, rather than a flaw in the system. I look forward to seeing how the new Road Safety Strategy develops.

But we need to talk about the elephant in the room: SUVs....
