Parisian walkways
Chesnot
Life in Paris just got a little better, as long as you overlook the festering waste in the streets. For Parisians have voted, by an overwhelming 90% majority, to ban commercial e-scooters.
That is, however, an overwhelming majority of an underwhelming minority turnout; less than 8% of the city's electoral register could be arsed to vote. But, whatever, a ban's a ban! (thumbup)
Concerns raised include that the riders don't wear safety helmets. Personally, I'm all for the selfish bastards, who speed through pedestrianised areas around here, falling off at speed and receiving serious head injuries. (mad)
