Ratcliffe is, quite obviously, factually, morally & intellectually wrong about immigration. But his racist comments will be 'both-sided' everywhere because people who simply don't like seeing non-white faces aren't ashamed to say so anymore.

Agree. Dementia risk in over 80s is about one in six. Reduce that by 40% and risk is still one in ten.
Other things help: reduced cardiovascular risk factors, lower alcohol consumption etc. All of which are probably confounded with the cognitive stuff. Making it all about one thing isn't helpful.

"Dooring" is a hazard that cyclists face all the time, normally when passing parked cars.
The "Dutch reach" is a way of opening a car door that forces you to look behind - you reach with your non-door hand, turning your shoulders. You should *never* open a car door without checking behind you.

Last night, I got properly "doored" for the first time. A car in the road to my right paused, and the rear left passenger threw open his door without looking, right into my path. I ended up on the floor, badly winded but ok.
If you don't know what the "Dutch reach" is, NOW is the time to learn.

What these “but why do people hate Starmer SO MUCH” takes come down to is so shallow.
Starmer doesn’t sound or look like a firebrand so what’s the big deal?
Immune to questions of SUBSTANCE - he’s liar, enabled a genocide, pandered to anti-migrant politics & global Fascism.
