That article is interesting, as the main result are:
- Motonormativity as "doublethink" confirmed.
- Respondents paradoxically feel more supportive than their governments for both car travel and non-car travel.
- Most people felt they support non-car mobility more than other people.

READ: If you haven’t seen this yet, please take a look. Motonormativity ("car brain") is a bias that stops people from making rational judgements about driving. This study co-authored by @ianwalker.bsky.social looks at where this bias comes from & how it works.

This, my friends, is one of your legislators. We didn't elect him, but he sits in the House of Lords as a reward for bringing us Brexit, injecting his bigotry, perversity and ignorance into our lives. Daniel Hannan in the Daily Mail today, once again grossly misrepresenting history.
