Ar...way after he called all the police racists for stop and search and then rolled back and said its a reasonable tactic Have you noticed he is declining the ultra low charges for bikes too? I declare I'm not a fan LOL

The sneaky lil feck he is, " I want less traffic in London because of emissions and the Ozone" He then approves the new Silvertown tunnel under the Thames just so he can then also make it a toll tunnel and slipped up by admitting, he intends to make the current free travel Blackwall tunnel, a toll tunnel too https://tfl.gov.uk/travel-information/improvements-and-projects/silvertown-tunnel The new tunnel would: Reduce the impact of unplanned incidents at the Blackwall Tunnel by providing a nearby alternative route Cut down on queuing at the Blackwall Tunnel and approach roads Include user charging at the Blackwall and Silvertown Tunnels to manage demand and provide a source of revenue to build and maintain the new tunnel
just flagging this for verification just in case it gets swept under the carpet - I get the feeling that newspapers would have roasted her by now if true?
Happy to be corrected and trying to justify my comment https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/573400/Health-safety-police-moped-criminals as far as I have got
Pursuit of Motor Cycles / Quads 9.6 The tactics for stopping vehicles identified in these Codes of Practice are not intended for use against mopeds, motorcycles or quad bikes because of the vulnerability of riders, the manoeuvrability of the vehicle and the excessive speeds that such vehicles can reach. 9.7 Unless there are exceptional circumstances, as detailed in paragraph 2.1.6, the helicopter is the primary tactic for the pursuit of mopeds, motorcycles or quad bikes. If the helicopter is not available for immediate deployment the pursuit will be aborted. 9.8 Exceptional circumstances may dictate that the tactics identified in these Codes of Practice could be the best option for use against motorcycles or quads ACPO 2009 quite interesting when you start reading it
The Met are under different legislation from the rest of the UK, I think. I think I was being 'fake news'
Just about to be discussed on jeremy vine at 10:35 am. About scooter gangs being pushed out into the suburbs to cause people stress Edit: 10:44am and not in any depth!
Last time I looked the suburbs weren’t full of commuters walking with phones and bikes and scooters to be nicked. Jeremy Vine: am oxygen thief if ever there was one
Fuck sake... So with those becoming toll crossings too, just exactly how far does someone have to travel into London to get across into Essex/Kent for free . Wait, is this a hard border between Kent and Essex?
I read today in one of the national on line daily newspapers that the METs decision to use force is being challenged after a fleeing suspect suffered concussion after being knocked of the moped he was riding. Had my suspicians that it wouldn’t last. Andy
And so it begins https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-46440172 I like this bit "The boy, who was not wearing a helmet, was admitted to hospital with serious head injuries but later discharged." Shister lawers already gearing up
