Laura Davison, NUJ general secretary, said: "Our members deserve better. Audiences deserves better. The BBC is at risk of entering an inescapable doom spiral if it continues in this direction [...] the UK government must step in." www.nuj.org.uk/resource/bbc...

BBC heading for avoidable 'doom spiral' with constant cuts, says NUJ

The NUJ has warned that the BBC risks becoming trapped in an avoidable “doom spiral”, harming both workers and UK audiences, if the nation’s broadcaster continues its regime of brutal cuts.

So many people are dependent on cars because they have no viable alternatives. Freedom is people being able to CHOOSE their transport based on their needs, not FORCED to drive because nothing else exists. This #WorldCarFreeDay, we’re calling for better choices. 🧵

Salford pioneered play streets, traffic-free from 8am till sunset (borrowed from New York) in the 1930s. Legislation followed: there were 700 in England and Wales in the 1950s, all but forgotten by the 1980s.
