Another corker Helen, thank you so much for airing more of BCC's dirty laundry. Will BCC ever admit the true extent of harm and suffering their LTN policy is causing? To inflict such a cruel form of punishment on hard working people just trying to get about their everyday lives. It's a forced misery based on flawed data and paid-for, net zero nonsense science. All of this trickles back to the UN Agenda's 17 sustainable goals if anyone is interested.

Rosa Koire wrote a great book on this very thing and how these UN goals ooze and permeates into every crack of council (local )policy making. Once you see it, you'll see it everywhere!

Ps. Spotify have an audio version of Rosa's 'Behind The Green Mask' book.

The thanks are definitely due to our bank of voluntary data analysts devoting so much of their time and energy to this research and presenting what they find so clearly.

Thanks for pointing this out Helen. UN Agenda 2030 that nobody in the UK voted for must go ahead.

A brilliant and thorough excoriating expose of this devious Green-Party led BCC and their crafty manipulations and machinations in order to justify spending and wasting even more of OUR council tax monies on anti-traffic/motoring insane illogical road-blocking schemes that do nothing to improve the travel/mobility needs of all the locals/people within and outside of EB. In fact the contrary is true, for the past almost two years, despite numerous complaints of sheer travel misery and unjustified fines, despite pretentind to listen yet ignoring peoples' valid concerns, BCC continue to tweak, tinker and install in the dead of night aided by A&S police, a trial LN which dictatorial BCC now want to make permanent on dubious claims of achievements and despite acknowledging the majority are against the LN, are strongly opposed to it, and demand its immediate removal lock, stock and barrel. We do NOT pay our council taxes to be used to deny and stop drivers from driving in, out, through the streets of EB and/or any street of Bristol. To prevent drivers from driving on publicly funded roads is a gross infringement of our right of free movement ie driving cars, vans, trucks etc. BCC are out of order, have become tin-eared arrogant Dictatorship, period.

I'm curious how a council tax strike might be implemented? Asking for a friend.

Good data here and I applaud you for that. A significant question is; who are they to impose any restrictions on anyone moving about anywhere in the first place? They have no right. Our Freedomobiles, cars, should be ours to use freely while going about our law-abiding busines. Maybe people need to stop playing the game. Don't vote while these nutters are in play. You would not jump into a swimming pool with thirty great white sharks even if there was one harmless basking shark in there too. Turn your back. Don't give the system a mandate to control you.

The problem with not voting is that it is in effect a vote for the candidate or party who wins, if you think about it. At least, it is as long as we stay living in and relying on the system. You would have to set yourself up as an outlaw with a parallel system and be constantly fighting the Sheriff of Nottingham!

Also, few people already vote in council elections so not voting makes no difference at all.

The English Constitutional Party suggests writing 'I do not consent' on your ballot. There is constitutional precedence for this actually stymying the system if enough voters did it.

I'm not advocating for the ECP here, but I do think they're onto something.

Nope. Voting is why you find yourself where you are. If you vote in a system, you support that system. Then you get what you get in that system and there is no point moaning about it afterwards. Good luck voting your way out the system by voting for it in the first place.

Edit.

Just to add; writing anything on the ballot is still participating. It is better to be an “outlaw” than a serf to a system that seeks to control you. Parallel systems are not impossible if we at first at least imagine them.

So do you live outside the system that is run by the people others vote for?
