Yesterday in the UK new legislation came into force that restricts the ability to protest. The background is here; the announcement from yesterday is here.

We will find out what this truly means in the weeks, months and years ahead. About a year ago I chaired a panel discussion involving respected professionals around the world to explore the outlook for transport in the wake of the COVID-19 Pandemic.

In that discussion we converged on a realisation that we may be facing the prospect of needing revolution to change the system we currently have that has caused such harm to our climate and ecology. Bold stuff you might say – from respected professionals. And in turn the CILT (UK) – a well-respected professional body – published an abridged write-up of the event in its membership magazine ‘Focus’. Indeed the theme stole the front page.

I enourage you to read the article and ask yourself – what just happened yesterday and where are we heading?
