We've been told that there's a lot of opposition to the trial measures in Kings Road, Tudor Road and Crescent Road. Probably the most anger has been at the Crescent Road change. Kings Rd and Tudor Rd are not permanent changes - still only trials. Survey: www.kingstonletstalk.co.uk/highways-and...

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

It’s honestly disheartening to see a third runway at Heathrow pushed forward when we desperately need less aviation. Communities, climate scientists, and campaigners keep raising the alarm, and decisions like this show just how much work there’s still to do. #Climate www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Heathrow's plan for longer third runway chosen by government
Under the selected plan, the runway would be up to 3.5km long and require a new road tunnel under the airport.

It was raining, so I was very excited travelling to Newbury Park Underground station.
Outside the entrance is a Grade II listed bus shelter, designed by Oliver Hill in 1937 but built after the war
I knew a puddle shot would look good here, so I took a shot as the 66 bus arrived

You pay fuel duty. Why don’t billionaires?
This week, we launched WeWingAnyCar.com to help you qualify for the same tax breaks that private jets get.
Because tax loopholes shouldn’t just be for billionaires.

Recommissioned a lovely #DawesBike I bought from the refuse and recycling centre (tip) for £10. Needed a new chain and brake and gear levers and a little lubrication of the shifter mechanisms.
