Fair warning:
I went into #EvanEdinger's latest video thinking that it was going to be about some obscure centuries old legal quirk that still affects a modern street or something. I was very wrong. Too much Tom Scott, Chris Spargo, et al., I suspect.
It was actually about the politics of the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, as have been going on since 2015, and which have made the pages of the Evening Standard, the Telegraph, Private Eye, and the Tower Hamlets Slice.
In amongst the politics, you can play a little game of bingo, and count how many times a cyclist in the background or in 'B' footage goes on the right-hand side of the bollard and cycles directly over the arrow and the sign going the opposite way for oncoming traffic.
Legally, keeping left applies to all road users that are riding any type of carriage whatsoever (which includes bicycles), and all highways. It's the famous Highway Act 1835 §78.

Bist du wirklich in einer Großstadt, wenn du nicht sofort ausgeraubt wirst, wenn du auf die Straße trittst? XD

We Raced Across London Three Different Ways
This was fun to watch, though I'd never drive in London by choice.

London bad. London scawy.
Or at least you'd think so if you believed right-wing AI slop and lies. Fear and faking is what they're all about.

Este vídeo é sobre desinformação sobre Londres nas redes sociais, mas pode ser aplicado a qualquer cidade ou país do mundo. Em Portugal, diria que a maioria dos programas diurnos dos canais generalistas de televisão e de toda a programação da CMTV (sim, mesmo os programas de desporto) sofrem do mesmo problema.

Passiert einem auch, wenn man fernab erzählt, man kommt aus #Berlin.

One of the things that #EvanEdinger could have done but did not is geolocate the #Twitter accounts.
It would be unsurprising to learn that they weren't run by U.K. people at all. There's a whole industry of the same people in India and Bangladesh et al. who run the Anglophone telephone scams also running such social media accounts (for a fee, of course).
