Excerpt from a BBC article with the headline ‘Driver banned after near miss with cyclist’ which then goes on to list all of the other things the driver did wrong such as speeding, running red lights, driving without insurance and failing to stop.

I saw this BBC article the other day and was almost impressed they managed to make a cyclist part of the headline when it was nowhere near the worst thing the driver did.

“No evidence of…wrongdoing on the part of the driver” except for, you know, killing a kid.

Incredible quote in today’s Bristol Live article discussing planning refusal of a new rooftop terrace for some city centre bars….

“Not all this bus gate nonsense and clean air rubbish. We need more drinking places with views”

Chefs kiss. No notes.

I know it is absolutely not the main issue, but he even looks like a fucking dweeb whilst doing ‘that salute’.

How is ‘ran someone over whilst distracted’, not criminal?!?

A photo showing 2 parking spaces for electric vehicles in London. One is occupied by an Electric Mercedes Car, and the other an electric bike.

2 Electric Vehicles. Which one will save the planet?

Bristol, where I live, is mostly 20MPH limits. My favourite thing to do is drive the actual speed limit and watch people getting angry behind me. The entitlement of some drivers is unbelievable.

UK rail minister got engineer sacked for raising safety concerns Peter Hendy threatened to withhold public contracts while seeking disciplinary action.

In May this year, Peter Hendy pressured my now-former employer Systra to sack me by threatening them.

Why did he do this? Because I'd highlighted safety and accessibility issues at Euston station. He is unfit for office and should resign.

I have recently joined from the other site and have clicked ‘follow all’ on some lists that people I follow have put together. So I suspect that’s the reason. Someone has added you to a list of people to follow.

Boxall: That doesn’t look good.

Sounds about right for U.K. and US politics atm.
