cop (CO4141) prevents critical mass cyclists from crossing goodge street even though lights are green. he seems to be making an arbitrary distinction that bicycles aren't traffic. according to his perverse theory, the cyclists were obstructing the traffic by being on the road. i wonder if he's ever used that line against a line of cars, buses, lorries, or taxis?

or perhaps it was just utter bulls…

earlier this evening, a couple of dozen cyclists brought a little chaos to the junctions outside king's cross station in protest at new revelations over TfL's complicity in road deaths there. despite dozens of deaths and injuries to cyclists at the dangerous king's cross road intersections, it has recently come to light that between 2005 and 2009, TfL actually instructed its planners to ignore th…

'bikes alive' is a new direct action campaigning group to counter the lethargy of transport for london, and its prioritising of london traffic flow over the safety of pedestrians and cyclists. tonight saw the first of a series of direct action traffic calming gatherings at king's cross designed to pressure TfL into more urgent action over the deadly junction [video]

in the absence of any timetable or genuine willingness from either the mayor or transport for london (tfl), bicycle activists will stage the first of several direct actions tomorrow evening at king's cross road junctions

up to 100 people took part in tonight's new year's eve solidarity noise protest at holloway women's prison and young offenders' unit. their aim was to highlight the recent spate of draconian sentencing on protesters and others, and to contrast the injustice that police and bankers are allowed to go free despite committing much greater crimes.

this evening there was a massive police operation in central london to control a passionate but mainly peaceful protest by up to 1000 congolese people which began in whitehall, spreading to trafalgar square, and with further breakaway groups marching through the west end. mainstream coverage has been minimal.

To make things easier N9 have drawn up a catwalk list of essential items all anarchists, indeed all proteste…

City police explained to me that protesters were being arrested under Section 152 of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act of 2005. This was incorrect as this section is for the 'Power to seize etc. vehicles driven without licence or insurance'.

Sections 132 to 138 of SOCPA restrict the right to demonstrate within a "designated area" of up to one kilometre from any point in Parliament Sq…

several hundred people took part in a march to parliament this afternoon. but a huge police operation ensured they couldn't exercise their democratic duty to protest outside the democratic heart of the nation. however, with non-violent persistence the protestors got close, ending up outside the house of lords, a stone's throw (not that any were) from the square.
