| [DAWN] ON Nov 5, 2013, Brian Holt, a hospital porter, died after colliding with a lorry in East London. His death marked the start of a two-week period that would see five more cyclists die in a series of accidents across London. When another cyclist -- the sixth in a fortnight -- died from a similar collision on Camberwell Road, in a remarkable show of solidarity, more than 1,000 cyclists staged a 'die-in' protest outside Transport for London's headquarters in Southwark. As the protesters lay on their backs with their cycles flattened across the floor, they demanded greater governmental spending on improving road safety for cyclists. The government responded and Metropolitan Police launched Operation Safeway -- an effort to improve road safety by deploying officers at key junctions across London during rush hours. A little more than a year later, and several thousand kilometres away, seven gunnies from the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain (TTP) stormed the Army Public School in Beautiful Downtown Peshawar |
