Research shows LTNs reduce crashes by up to 70%! Yet, billionairist Reform edited Telegraph runs endless campaign to lethally endanger kids streets again! How do we change our billionairist media to protecting climate & kids?! https://t.co/knc5KEunfS

@BriggsCampaign Have you joined Daily Mail staff now? UK natl cycling network is an embarrassing joke. Cycle budget is less than 1% of transport budget. But Murdoch/Mail begrudge every penny. You turned from reasonable campaigner,to bitter danger to safer roads for kids. You betray Kim by this😪

@DonnachadhMc @StopKillingCycl Perfectly put. The nursery school my daughter goes to has huge 4x4s reversing along pavements and idling outside her school gates at pick up and drop off times, and it feels no space is sacred. LTNs have dramatically improved walking routes in my area, and I'd love to see more.

On this day in 1971, Simone Langenhoff, aged 6, was killed while cycling to school; hit by a speeding driver. Her death and the movement started by her father, Vic Langenhoff, a newspaper journalist, changed an entire country and saved thousands of Dutch lives. Here's how 🧵

Paint is not protection, in fact it makes things worse. Learnt from the best last night @Chris_Boardman that this kind of thing actually kills 10% more people than doing nothing at all! #activetravelfail #activetravelcafe

There are more crashes on the M25 than any other road in the UK. Imagine how full the jails would be if judges applied the same rule as they did to the #WholeTruthFive to every driver who’s illegal driving caused a crash. #Motornormativity https://t.co/s8OEZUZYGr

Clerkenwell Road at 8 this morning. Demolished traffic lights and a wrecked car strewn across the pavement. How does this happen in a 20mph zone?

This is an emergency and the system needs to treat it as such. Cyclists are dying on our roads at an alarming rate - why don't we care? https://t.co/Gxk1bkl6Yg

This person is allowed to drive a two tonne weapon: 'I'd say "get out of the way you fucking idiot, either get pedalling to 60mph or fuck off. Same for cyclists who don't wear a helmet. If you don't wear a helmet that should be fair game to knock you down."'

Boy seriously injured after driver crashes into them outside school, is what @DevonLiveNews mean to say. These crashes happen daily and our media cannot bring themselves to be anything but killer driver apologists with their laissez-faire attitude to reporting these horrors.

@AlisonHernandez @grocer_on_green @Bingamin @countcaspargh @DC_PCC Thanks for your honesty & clarifying that the sentence was wholly inadequate to the lethally dangerous drug driving & killing a woman cycling. Are you able to impose training to tackle pro-driver bias by judges who drive, dealing with killings by drivers? @StopKillingCycl

Thanks for attending court and reporting back @countcaspargh . I'm not worried about the custodial sentence length as much as the length of ban - as is said elsewhere an insult to her memory, the police and indeed all of us.

Having been in the same room as the police when Harry was given a 1y 8m sentence for killing Maria whilst he was out of his nut on NOx, they aren’t happy with this outcome. He could be free to kill again with a car in less than 3 years 8 months. In https://t.co/G3s4aAs9Dn

Back from court. The driver was steering with his knees, because he was sucking from a NOx balloon shortly before he killed Maria Gonzalez Perera. He got a 3y 2m sentence, reduced to 1y 8m. Police not happy, family distraught.

Yes, dangerous cyclists need dealing with. But, since the first tragedy in this piece in the Times occurred, drivers have killed over 15,000 people. Less than 30 have been killed by people cycling. Where’s the press about the 5 driving killers a day?

Empowered by the press [supporters of dangerous & polluted streets] have been shown they can win with a campaign reliant on bullying & vandalising. Our leaders were too weak to deal with them this time, which will make next time even harder. #ExeterLTN
