Vehicles evading ANPR cameras (by covering their number plates) to drive down school streets are a common sight on the roads around Dulwich.
Where is the police action to arrest these illegal drivers?

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
![the "stop doing math" meme except it says "STOP DRIVING CARS". the meme reads:
* PEOPLE WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ISOLATED IN CAGES
* YEARS OF CONSTRUCTION yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for building ONE MORE LANE
* Wanted to travel large distances anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that: It was called "TRAINS"
* "Yes please give me NO GREENERY. Please give me INFINITE PAVEMENT" - Statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged
LOOK at what Civil Engineers have been demanding your Respect for all this time, with all the concrete and asphalt we built for them
(This is REAL Civil Infrastructure, done by REAL Civil Engineers):

As it should be. Bottled water, in a country with safe tap water, is an environmental failure - no matter what they tell you.

Everyday Philosophy: Trump’s bullying tactics
Eventually, when a bully has got out of control and he’s made enough enemies, he may find the roles of bully and bullied reversed

I was diagnosed with HIV in 1998, when I was 30.
Many of my friends had died but I was told, with the new drugs available, I could expect to live another 20 years.
That was 27 years ago.
Honour those we lost.
Celebrate that we can now treat and prevent HIV.
Make HIV stigma history.

I love Ian Hislop but it’s worth noting that most of us would balk at the prospect of publicly admonishing a wrongdoer whose conduct you condemn in this way. I did it once to the UKIP/Reform/Brexit twerp Richard Tice but that took exactly zero guts.
This is speaking truth to actual power…

At the end of a badly bruising week for UKHE, a reminder that even when measured in the narrowest economic terms, UK universities are stonkingly good value for money. 2021-22 for example saw a return on government investment in 1st degree students' teaching of £13 for every £1 spent. (page 3) #UKHE

Great piece on AI for writing. Particularly agree about pointless forms: "What’s not worth doing isn’t worth doing well."
