Gentlemen of the road.
It sounds a brilliant film.

Definitely that too.

Public transport should be cheap, reliable, and everywhere. All neighbourhoods should be walkable. Essential services should be accessible to people who do not wish to drive.
Just like in the good old days before the motor lobby started dictating government policy.

Persuading motorists to switch to electric will be easier if electric vehicles cost less to own and use.

Tax on vehicles does not fund the road network, either in practice or in theory.
Loss of government revenue from fuel duty might mean increasing some other taxation, but it does not have to be vehicle related, nor should there be any suggestion or pretence that it is what pays for the roads.

Must be a mistake. I don’t even have six fingers on my right hand.

You couldn’t eat triffids.
Supposedly.
Did anyone even try?

Governments will not go against the narrative set by Murdoch and his ilk.

I’m sure you know how Baileys Irish Cream came into existence, and then became impossible to kill.

In case you need a reminder of what retirement actually looks like, you are this close.

Farage was made a media star by the BBC at about the same time that he became a Russian asset.

Most people who remember the 70s would rather be 50 years younger is what this amounts to.

When the credits roll, watch them to the end. There is always a “best boy”.

I saw an episode of The Good Life recently. Tom was wearing an Arran sweater and Jerry was wearing an outdoor leather jacket *in their house*.
In these centrally heated days I had forgotten how British houses were always cold.

Sociopath Johnson employed attack dog Gilligan to create a network of cycle paths in London. They didn’t consult, they just bulldozed.
Johnson progressed a bike- hire scheme that Ken had dithered with.
As someone who cycled in London at the time, I’ll always give him that.

Now all you have to do to stop us all becoming extinct is donate more to a political part than the oil industry does.
