Yep - I joined the Greens. Before the election Labour seemed to be promising to do enough of what the Greens want to do. Now they’re more extreme than the Tories were 10 or 15 years ago.

The Taliban are obviously bad, but their actions also break international law, which so far many countries are staying quiet about.

I get that perspective. IME MTBers aren't too serious about most of what they say, especially the 'that cycling category that's only slightly different to ours is rubbish' comments! I've ridden with people who're initially intimidated but there's usually more 'ride how you're comfortable' comments..

How to solve worker misery:
• don’t teach managers to manipulate the staff
• pay people enough for a decent life without having to worry about bills, with enough left to do some things they want to do
• all of the previous without needing to do silly hours.
