Anyone who is more concerned about bikes on pavements than cars on the road is deeply unserious about pedestrian safety.

I will accept painted bike lanes when guardrails on bridges are painted instead of concrete.

It would be great if we could take a whole country and change the default speed limit to 20mph and then compare it to one left at 30mph. What if it reduced casualties by 25% and with lower risk reduced insurance premiums by £45 a year? Well it did! bit.ly/4gIBPlJ

Just fuck off with this. How about start the conversation by highlighting how much immigrants contribute to the UK - not least by propping up the NHS and social care system!
Also - forced volunteering is not volunteering, it's unpaid labour.

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

A man using a mobility scooter had to be rescued by the fire service as he became stuck between a wall and a parked car.
How much longer must he and other pedestrians have to wait for a pavement parking ban and adequate enforcement?

Hitting them with your car at 40mph does the same damage.

Migrants didn't cut council funding. Migrants didn't cut NHS funding. Migrants didn't close youth centres. Migrants didn't sell off council houses. Migrants aren't filling our rivers with sewage.

Absolute feckin state of this. Apparently this mess is "respectin' are flag" or something. Although maybe they intended to paint the flag of the International Red Cross and are honouring the brave and tireless work they do for refugees around the world ?

Just for perspective, a few weeks ago roughly 100,000 turned up for the London Trans+ Pride march. By contrast fewer than 3,000 ACROSS THE WHOLE COUNTRY, have turned up to anti-asylum "protests". Yet we are meant to take the latter as "the voice of the people" and the former as "the minority".

It is 39°C in Lisbon today. The same in Madrid. In Paris next week it will also be 39°C.
Look at this picture. People are under trees, where it can be up to 12°C cooler.
Given trees take decades to mature and many don’t survive, cities need to plant many more street trees. And urgently.

7. So maybe Keir Starmer should listen to this. If you don't know what to do with power, if you have no project other than staying in office, no moral core, no plan to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable, no trace of Labour values, perhaps you should step aside for someone who does.
