The vehicle, which had its blue lights on, was trapped on Waterloo Bridge on Wednesday morning due to congestion caused by Just Stop Oil, Met Police said. Pictures and footage from the scene shared on social media show queues of traffic in both directions on the busy bridge.

The climate campaigners have hit back at the force’s handling of the incident and claimed it was the Met police blocking the ambulance so they could “blame it on a protest march going in the other direction”.

The protesters weren’t the one blocking the ambulance. The cars were, and the cops didn’t do anything to alleviate that so the ambulance could get through the cars and to the protesters who would’ve let it through anyway.

In an anti car community. Considering the US proudly proclaims itself the champion of the free market, yeah, it’s only fitting to use Amtrak as the example.

China does have a superb high-speed rail network, you gotta give them that

The left whiskers are there, the portrait mode filter thought they were part of the cat tree and applied massive levels of bokeh to blur them out

Good. We could stand to hold off on the population increase for a bit while we fix all the fucked-up shit

Honestly, Cuba and North Korea both have pretty decent (urban) roads. Pyongyang even has some bike lanes, bike parking, and bikesharing infrastructure

Yes. Don’t do that. Go for someone in their mid to late 30s

It is, but the monsoon’s about to roll in so it’s a little better at the minute. Humid as fuck though
