OMG London is a broken no-go zone run by marauding gangs of rapists and murderers.
Except it isn’t. You’re welcome (to come and join te fun).

I can hear the racists laughing but even racists need to be looked after in their old age surely? What the hell are we doing? I voted for this Labour government and I’ve continued to give them my support, but it is being tested. 3/3

She said that 20 years was x4 the time she signed up to when she took the job with the NHS and that she might go to Australia or Canada instead. At the donor centre there is only one worker who is not an immigrant. This could mean a calamitous loss of staff for the NHS… 2/3

While I recently gave blood at the Brixton donor centre I was attended to by a nurse called Simi from Nigeria. She told me that the Labour governments statement that legal migrants will need to wait 20 years for citizenship was making her reconsider her position. 1/3

Good for you Ben! I find exercise really helps with my mental health (and physical health, obviously). I wish you good fortune on your journey!

I am beginning to feel angry at ordinary Americans (I have lots of US friends), that they have collectively brought this disruption upon us.

A very clear response from London Fire Commissioner, Andy Rowe to a question at Fire Plenary last week from Emma Best AM about the impact of LTNs on fire brigade attendance times.

"We genuinely couldn't find any evidence of LTNs doing anything to our overall attendance times".

Cycling around London I really notice this - gaps that used to be there to filter through are reducing as cars fatten up. #carbrain

You can’t park there!

A driver has crashed their car over the pavement and into the wall on Lordship Lane, near the junction with Court Lane.

This road has a 20mph speed limit.

Stand at any London junction for 10 minutes and you will see loads of drivers interacting with their phones. So depressing.
