The BBC is under scrutiny. Here’s what research tells about its role in the UK
The BBC is the most widely used source of news in the UK. It has lower reach among the young and the less formally educated.

This is unexpurgated Great Replacement Theory. Pure conspiratorial racism.
Musk: "The waste and fraud in entitlement spending -- that's the big one to eliminate. That's the half trillion, maybe 600 or 700 billion a year. That's also the mechanism by which Democrats attract & retain illegal immigrants by essentially paying them to come here & then turning them into voters."

For the first time, the Norwegian government has calculated the value to society of the health benefits of increased walking and cycling.
🚲 ~€2.8 for each additional km of cycling
🚶♀️ ~€4.2 for each additional km of walking
🚲 ~€2.8 for each additional km of cycling

Samfunnet tjener mye på at folk går og sykler!
Nye tall fra Helsedirektoratet viser at vi sparer:
🚲 33 kr for hver km folk sykler
🚶♀️ 49 kr for hver km folk går
Det er sammenlignet med at folk ikke er i fysisk aktivitet, f.eks. om de kjører bil.
