I'm trying really hard to take the U.K. government's urgent review of Low Traffic Neighbourhoods seriously. I really am.

But having watched the U.K. government lose every fight they've ever gotten into, I can't help but smile at the idea of them going to war with some bollards in the street. And, Also, losing.

@ProjectFearlessness The odds are stacked against them winnings a fight against bollards.

They are going to lose against the bollards, but as a distraction from their complete failure on all other green policies it buys them some time. Maybe all of the 10 minutes it takes to check and find that all the reviews of LTNs done so far have been overwhelmingly positive.

@ProjectFearlessness I live in Tooting Bec, London. Cycling down into town was akin to mad max 2. That bit of road has one of the highest casualty rates in London.

@blabberlicious It's a daily hazard. I think we're now on Mad Max 6: Tina says cycle lanes in the Thunderdome are too expensive and inconvenient.
