Pleased to have participated in the blockade of the private jet airport of Milano Linate. A private jet consumes 10 times more than commercial airplanes and 50 times more than trains,mostly on short routes. In the current climate emergency, flying private jets is utter madness.1/

Milano. La dichiarazione di Gianluca Grimalda, ricercatore, (@GGrimalda) ieri al blocco dello scalo Linate Prime. "Un Jet privato emette in 4 ore quanto una persona media emette in un anno". #stopPrivateJets #ScientistRebellion #clima #COP27 #gas #climateEmergecy

Any reason you totally disregarded the cycle lane too?

Cycling up 25% since pre-covid. Less than 6% of London cycle lanes are segregated. Clearly got no clue how scientific analysis works. You don't start from a conclusion, take a grab-bag of statistics and hope it works out.

Bus lanes were installed with good business cases of saving time, money and improving reliability. They were replaced by bike lanes on the basis of stated preference surveys of non-cyclists who are still not cycling. Cyclists are being injured in higher numbers than ever.

Manston is a concentration camp. Interning people there illegally is a political decision taken by Suella Braverman and the Home Office. The childrens’ cries of “freedom” and “we need your help” are a haunting indictment of the barbaric British border regime.

Dozens of young children are being held at Manston detention camp in Kent. Mothers, fathers, children and babies from Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and elsewhere. We went today and heard them chanting for their freedom. This is persecution. FREE THEM AND CLOSE IT DOWN.

Saudi Arabia just started construction on a 170km city named “The Line.” I have thoughts. But first, what are yours?

Coverage of the Queen’s death and King Charles’ proclamation has exposed UK media’s deep failures to represent UK’s regional & racial diversity with potentially serious long term consequences. One of the most important & difficult pieces I’ve ever written bcu.ac.uk/media/research/sir…
