Active travel, sometimes walking / cycling, politics & a miscellany.

Thanks.

It won't be hundreds - Cycling Mikey I am not; nor that well organised.

But, as my "what do I do" motto goes, we start from here and eat the elephant in small bites.

And I have my new 'puter for the processing.

It's a MAJOR walking and dog wallking route - hundreds per day.

Hmmm.

Checking, the Notts Police Operation Captured (ie Op SNAP - dashcam footage of offences) deal with "contravening road signs".

I wonder if that means I can follow someone driving up my tiny "no motor vehicles except for access" lane, and Op SNAP them.

I'm looking forward to trying it out.

On the Gorton & Denton result, the Ref UK Leader Farage and Ref UK Candidate Matt Goodwin are droning on about "sectarian politics".

This is your reminder that all those "sectarian Muslims" voted for the Green Party, which is led by Zack Polanski - a gay Jew.

Ignore the gibberish; assert reality.

The Great Collapsing Reform disaster seems to be starting.

Let's see what this G&D Election result turns out to be.

In Kent they are now down from 57 to 47 Councillors from 81 total, since last May.

Squeaky bum time for Nonny-Nonny-Nigel.

A family was a physio helping disabled children with their riding back in the 1970s/80s.

For a criminal investigation official NDAs should be set-aside-able.

The issue would be around private contractual NDAs, perhaps.

Restoring Palace of Westminster could cost £40bn and take 61 years Home of UK parliament spends £1.5m a week on repairs but critics say restoration proposals lack accountability

The proposed cost of the latest "Restore the Palace of Westminster" proposal is now up to £40 billion over up to 61 years.

Article: www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...
Website: www.restorationandrenewal.uk/about-us/rec...

This is ticking towards £500k per sqm of space. (40 billion, 110k sqm).

Can I ask for coverage of a possible (theoretical?) policy?

I'm a skeptical of CCS, & I note that restored peat bogs sequestrate huge amounts of carbon.

Is there potential for replacing technology driven CCS with increased restoration of peat bogs - say on 25% of shooting moors?

Astonishing.

Martin Shipton is the new Reform leader in Wales. He "moved to Wales" in 2024 to "bring up his children in the countryside", and left residents unrepresented for 5 months.

It turns out he has his house in Bath.

Is there a single person in Ref UK who treats the voters with respect?

It's a requirement that Senedd candidates be on the Election Register in Wales, for which you have to be "usually resident" in Wales.

This one is a self-serving scumbag of Jenrick proportions.

Is the Husk Off evaluation not that this is just - like most of his politics - another act of public masturbation by Donald Trump?

(And an opportunity for him to embezzle more money.)

Pavement parking consultation: government response Announcing the publication of the government response to the consultation on pavement parking.

This is on the day when the Govt responded to a consultation on pavement, and confirmed they were going to do effectively nothing, when 70%+ of respondents want a nationwide ban.

This is cowardice in the face of a major problem, when we answers to hand.

From a walk this morning.

In a street with ample space, a selfish driver has entirely blocked the footway for people using mobility aids, guide dogs, or with children in prams.

The pavement is just over 2m wide, and just 2ft is left.

Flag Sh**ggers Brand Vicar Dodgy & A Lefty For Suggesting There's Legal Routes For Asylum Seekers!
YouTube video by Political CUSTARD Flag Sh**ggers Brand Vicar Dodgy & A Lefty For Suggesting There's Legal Routes For Asylum Seekers!

A conversation between a "Raise the Colours" flag-hanger, & a "lefty vicar". The "vicar" is an Elim Pentecostal Pastor, which is a white-led Pentecostal church in the UK.

It's a contrast to the majority of 'white evangelicals' in the USA & is a typical UK view.

Bomp ... bomp ... bomp.

Barnet Con group leader moved house to Wales in 2022. Stayed as Councillor. Left Con for RefUK in May/June.

Resigned from Council last week, leaving his seat unoccupied until elections in May.

What IS going on ?

Yes.

European countries need to write both Russia & USA out of the game.

Trump is walking the USA towards irrelevance by trashing international influence, being Putin's useful idiot, and putting the USA itself on an economic/political down spiral.

Europe has not done enough.

"A remarkable proportion of OnlyFans pages are AI. My (18 year old) daughter tells me that one of her classmates has a Snapchat account where they pretend to be a 21 year old Korean student in San Francisco, and sell AI generated feet images to people for $50/time."
