The pedestrianisation of Oxford Street is a godsend for cabbies. They can combine two favourite activities. Taking tourists on the most convoluted route to Selfridges to rack up a fare while having an extra 15 minutes to rant about Sadiq Khan.
Bloody brilliant.
If only there was a way to get Mullins to F’ off out of London too.
Well done Khan, you’re hopefully getting the vermin out.

It will be a success.
It won’t be rolled back.

The black cab lobby in London is something. How they have managed to convince people they are public transit (when they're inefficient, routinely make a fuss if try to pay by car, and fuck over people with service animals) is wild.

I think you’re trying to bring Khan down?
But the ai slop you posted is celebrating the positive change on Oxford St by removing vehicles - including cabbies.

As a person with a disability myself and married to a woman in a wheelchair I’m tired of all these fuckers that go “what about the disabled”. Pedestrianise more streets and bring better accessible tube stations and we’re golden.
Fuck the cars.
Shoppers fill Oxford Street on first traffic-free day ➡️ bbc.in/3W8cz21

Not by cars.
Not by taxis.
Not by buses.
Not by cyclists.
By delivery drivers in the permitted hours.
Did you not bother reading the consultation?

imagine if someone suggested cramming all these people onto the pavements to make space for motor traffic down the middle

This isn't acceptable. Put a team of police officers there and fine them, and keep doing it for a few days. All this nonsense will largely stop.
Cyclists are continuing to ride along the newly pedestrianised section of Oxford Street, despite being asked to dismount.
Around seven security staff have been stationed near Oxford Circus, calling out to cyclists to get off their bikes, with mixed success.

Be extra careful if you’re cycling in London today. The pedestrianisation of Oxford Street has led to localised flooding due to the tears of black cab drivers.

A couple of hours in and already people got the message. It's safe to cross the road.
No vehicles, no honking horns. Just walk, relax, and shop!

You’re right.
They will.
And they should be prosecuted. We live in a civil society.
But you know what else is true? The street is still far safer with them breaking the law than when drivers were going down that street legally.
Let that sink in.
You know you’re doing something right when you’re being blocked by this man - who has a price of paper.
He does not belong in women’s spaces.

Something you might think about here is nuance. It's possible to agree with someone about some things and not others. Eg I'm not a Tory, but I agree with the @CforWomenUK account about sex and gender. This is how grownups get things done. It's also how democracy works.
