Two young women at my work went on a weekend shopping trip from #Suffolk to #Thurrock with their kids - one was driving a petrol VW Polo, the other a diesel SUV (Ford Kuga).
The lass in the diesel car wrong-laned a spiral roundabout coming off #M25 and ended up briefly going into Outer London and entering #ULEZ - she ended up with about £30 in charges but just paid them without whinging and blaming Sadiq Khan etc - there definitely seems to be a gender difference in how folk react to ULEZ (although its also the case folk round here don't always keep up with what is going on in London, a friend didn't realise where the boundary was as until last year he'd never even driven on the M25!)

If we need a “Lower Thames Crossing” to get freight to and from Dover, let’s make it a rail crossing with shuttle trains for trucks and cars. It could then by-pass not just the Thames but also the M25 with a significant reduction in both congestion and pollution. #LowerThamesCrossing #Dartford #M25

"#UniversalSuicide": An imprisoned #ClimateActivist on why the fight for the planet still matters
#JustStopOil cofounder Roger Hallam spoke with Salon about overcoming climate despair and taking action
By Matthew Rozsa

October 24, 2024"Many people don’t need something as dramatic as #HurricaneMilton to tell them our climate is spiraling out of control. It’s evident everywhere, from the U.K. recently reporting its second worst #harvest on record to #Antarctica turning green to the U.S. spending $150 billion a year on climate change-related #ExtremeWeather events.
"But this isn’t some mysterious crisis. We know #FossilFuel companies are responsible for the emissions heating the globe. But instead of fixing it, these corporations have lied to the public, bribed politicians and sowed distrust in science. Meanwhile, governments are giving more money than ever to fossil fuel companies via subsidies, with a record $7 trillion cashed out to #BigOil in 2022.
"Some climate activist groups would like to bring your attention to this issue. But they are often arrested and get the book thrown at them when they demonstrate. Climate activist Roger Hallam knows this all too well, as he serves a five-year prison sentence for #BlockingTraffic — and, as he explained to Salon, his plight is a warning to Americans who vote for politicians that deny climate science.
"Hallam, who described himself as a #PoliticalPrisoner, was incarcerated for his role in leading and participating in an anti-climate change demonstration in November 2022. For four days, Hallam and more than three dozen other activists climbed a gantry and thereby blocked traffic in London’s critically important #M25 motorway."

Fen Lane in North #Ockendon near #Upminster -this point is the most Eastern part of Greater #London - 3,5 km away from the #M25 #motorway (which is not the exact border of Greater London!). Beyond this point you have crossed into #Thurrock #Essex (and are imediately greeted with a sign from the #Police warning that #ANPR cameras are in operation) #UK #Roads #Transport #Geography

Dear silver Citroen #Saxo owner, at #Cobham services on the #M25 earlier today, I salute your dedication to the #bass!! I’ve honestly never heard a system quite like it outside of a car show, and definitely never in such a small car. Proper carnival bass hit me in the chest as I stepped out of the petrol station. Amazing!!

@JustStopOil One question: is this really productive? As a #Thurrock resident who planned to get the bus to Tesco today, I guarantee you that this only brings you outrage. My mother hasn't stopped talking about yous lot all week.

.Protesters BLOCK M25 for Eighth Time Causing Rush Hour CHAOS!
Protesters targeted junction 30, near Thurrock, Essex, from about 8am, in defiance of the High Court order made last week.
Nine activists (later arrested) brought a roundabout to a halt by gluing their hands to the floor, blocking commuters during rush hour.
