Media Scrum at the School Run

Transposed from an older blog

Got up early to join the 'Alliance against 4x4's' at a school in Belsize Park. Dressed as old fashioned school teachers and lollipop folk we tried to persuade local mums, that they didn't need a tank to drive little Belinda to school.

Embaressing start as only 4-5 of us, and about 10-12 media people, invluding two film crews. I'm sure at one point I say media people holding placards? but luckily the morning filled out quickly, and I guess there were 25-30 of us all told.

Loads of coverage the next day, whatever your views on car use and 4x4's its a great intro to the transport debate, and there is a huge groundswell of opinion that thinks they're an unessecary pointless burden on soceity.

A poor choice of Vehicle
Could do better
