Gridlock today - Thanks to the Bristol Alliance (of the rich)

Gridlock this afternoon throughout Bristol City Centre

We're all looking forward to Thursday's opening of Babylon Towers (aka. Cabot Circus) Bristol's grand temple to the gods of consumerism and this is the price Bristolians have to pay for the Bristol Alliance's frantic 'fire brigade' management (no slight on the FBU of course).

Today's total gridlock in Bristol City Centre also reminds us how much we need a congestion charge so that only the wealthy can afford to drive into town and Crapita can found an entirely new tax out of nothing to boost their share price. And no mention of the big story of the afternoon on the BBC Website of course as that might spoil their massive feature on the opening week of the Biggest Circus in Town.

The important city centre webcams are - of course - down.
