Wilful establishment amorality

Posted on 18th September 2017 by Martin Cassini

For imposing an inherently dangerous system which causes untold harm, for wasting billions in public money on a defective system, for killing us invisibly by maximising emissions, for ignoring the life-enhancing solutions brought by me to their attention, I accuse … Continue reading →

Clear and present abuse

Posted on 13th September 2017 by Martin Cassini

J’accuse the traffic system and its perpetrators – the DfT, Highways England, TfL, most traffic authorities, successive transport and roads ministers – of systematic abuse, historic and present. I’ve alerted them to life-enhancing, money-saving solutions to our man-made problems on … Continue reading →

Protest

Posted on 4th September 2017 by Martin Cassini

The anti-shared space protest planned for tomorrow (5.9.17) outside Parliament is misguided and misinformed. Too often, shared space is confused with shared (flat) surfaces. Shared space prefers kerbs that are lower than standard, or dropped kerbs – these enable blind … Continue reading →

Is the cyclist guilty?

Posted on 24th August 2017 by Martin Cassini

Predictably, Charlie Alliston was found guilty of ‘wanton or furious driving’. Equally predictably, the rules of the road, and the anonymous perpetrators of an intrinsically dangerous system, escaped without a mention, as they do every day of every year. In … Continue reading →

Criticism where due

Posted on 14th August 2017 by Martin Cassini

I’m critical of traffic officers and policymakers because they oppose change and support a system which is intrinsically dangerous, anti-social and inefficient. It steals our time, damages our health and well-being, defaces streetscapes, and kills our children. Brutality, sociopathy and … Continue reading →

Corporate manslaughter by Parliament and Camden Council

Posted on 8th May 2017 by Martin Cassini

Let it not be forgotten that MPs introduce the legislation that supports the extortion racket that promotes this unspeakable intimidation. England prides itself on being a democratic country, but in matters of parking and traffic control, it might as well be … Continue reading →

Censorship?

Posted on 6th April 2017 by Martin Cassini

I’ve lost count of the times I’ve pitched these ideas, to no avail, to the likes of The Today Programme. Likewise, my latest pitch about air quality, emailed today to two people at Newsnight and two at The Times, has … Continue reading →

Redistibution of public money

Posted on 17th February 2017 by Martin Cassini

A headline item on The Today Programme was the hike in rates for 25% of businesses, which means many will go to the wall. Apparently business rates guarantee tax income of £24bn a year. The underfunding of social care also … Continue reading →

A hole in SERA’s holistic approach

Posted on 23rd January 2017 by Martin Cassini

Announcing a proposal to limit speeds on the M1 near Sheffield to 60mph, the Today Programme interviewed Samantha Heath of SERA, an environmental pressure group linked to Labour. Her holistic approach seemed to boil down to lower speeds and fewer cars. … Continue reading →
