This is a crazy thread: I open the debate on The London Mayors transport restrictions and then supported it with Corbyn's advisors promoting the removal of all private transport...! This should be a major concern to all straight thinking people; instead - a number of members twist this saying a think tank is not an advisor (which appears to be wrong) and then a lot of out of context miscellaneous quotes...!?! You guys must be a real pain to live with.
Mr Boro Boy - you're not even quoting yourself correctly. The OP was about the Mayor of London wanting to impose rent controls. You moved it on to proposals to limit maximum speeds, and then onto the story that you claimed was "Corbyn's advisers promoting the removal of all private transport"
That story states that Common Wealth, the think tank issuing the anti-private car report is pro-Corbyn. That's not disputed, but it nowhere says that Common Wealth are advisers to the Labour party or leadership, nor do they claim it themselves.
If it's a crazy thread, it's because you have put your own inaccurate spin on a story and then dug in when called out on your error.
I'm very happy to debate questions like rent controls, road safety, car use. But it's impossible if you make assertions which you cannot or will not support with evidence. If you can show me where in the linked articles it states that Common Wealth are advisers to Corbyn, I will retract everything I've said on that subject.
