History, politics, sport. Love my bike (no engine involved). Frustrated European. Trying and failing not to be a grumpy middle aged man.

Trump is weak, compromised and corrupt. Even worse, he’s a traitor to America who’s shamelessly selling out our country to his puppet master Putin on a daily basis.
Any Republican in Congress who supports him at this point is just as much of a traitor. Fuck them all.

Spot on. Comprehensive pedestrianisation should be far higher up the agenda in our cities than it is. Nearly wherever cars go, cities get worse. Nearly wherever they’re removed, those urban spaces flourish.
Before & After: I don’t think people realize the extent to which parked cars degrade public space.

A word on the Allison Pearson free speech row, and what she describes as a ‘Kafkaesque’ threat to it. We asked her on @thenewsagents.bsky.social to discuss.
She said: ‘No. And if you get any aspect of the story wrong my lawyers will be watching.’
Gotta love a free speech warrior 🤷🏻♂️
