Londoners now wake up each morning to maps and charts outlining the human cost of decisions made by our national government. We are expected to "take [death] on the chin" and be grateful.

@RBKC Inaction by our governments allows a dangerous force to spread through our society, costing the lives of our loved ones and forcing us to cower in the periphery.

Whether we stay inside for fear of disease or motorised violence, we are owed better by our elected representatives.

@RBKC The cycle route proposed by @RBKC is like the 30 respirators announced yesterday: absolutely necessary, but insufficient.

We will need 30,000 respirators to survive the Covid-19 crisis, and we will need protected cycleways to survive the return of motor traffic to our streets.
