Because THIS is what will break down a society, not some poor soul escaping incredible dangers, arriving on our shores.
Donβt like the new sizing on #vinted one bit.

Boris Johnsonβs chief fluffer accusing anyone else of being over-promoted is peak process. The bitterness of insanely privileged men with empty souls knows no bounds.

30.10.2025 07:09 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Yes. Imagine! Think how pleasant GB would be - having a good cycling infrastructure means communities are out of cars and young & old mix together - which is civilising and makes for great cities
27.10.2025 21:32 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0No. Live in south London suburbs and cycling infrastructure is so poorly thought out - if it exists at all - that no one uses it. Drivers so very aggressive too - I was a keen cyclist when younger (150km/week) but have given up the battle & only cycle in Europe now

High Street is littered with tatty flags attached to every lamp post and telegraph pole, and by God, it looks awful.
Everyone I spoke to hates them. So intimidating. Apparently- "Epping Forest council is scared of offending the nasties."
Exactly that
