Thomson's undercover career was a catalogue of deception, not just of activists and women he targeted for relationships, but he also lied to his bosses, fiddled his expenses, and tried to frame a hunt sab in a gun plot he invented to prolong his cushy deployment.

The implication is that there has to be action to disrupt, or add friction to, existing car journeys if we want to unlock the benefits of providing alternatives - the conclusion also reached by Xiao et al. recently www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

estate agents are one of the worst bits.

selling, I could chose a nice friendly one, but buying - I'm sure some put EAs off perfectly reasonable houses.
