Tweet from @OneEaling: "We're going to fight this. This is basically a bunch of pathetic middle aged men in lycra trying to tum quiet residential streets into daytime cycling racetracks, usually without even the support of their wives, and we are going to expose them and their saddle crushed balls."

A chat with a fellow "person who has never used Lycra or been in an organised ride, but who generally goes to the shops and school run and to transport hubs on a bicycle" has just reminded me of some of the wording used by people @ealinglibdems.bsky.social were listening to re Safer Neighbourhoods..

This happens a lot and I don't get why.
As a signed up user, what are the chances you'd be reporting it for larks rather than because of genuine problem?
So why do they not immediately make it unavailable?

That's not a common scenario in Oxford and many other cities is it?

Do you have to commute with kids 40 miles a day?

Best way to get from Marston up Jack Straw's Lane to Headington!

..if it gives me a chance of power.

Usual internalised insecurity - look at me I can be whiter than white, despite my brown colour!! Let me be part of your white club! I will even trash my own coloured people to prove how white I can be! 🙈

ZACKLY!

I'm never actually going to need to write another comment piece again am I?

The right wing shit rags are just going to keep recruiting for us.

Folks - want a better country?

I so enjoyed @zackpolanski.bsky.social using the phrase "right wing shit rags" - it's about time a politician had the courage to call them what they are.

Can you honestly believe how far down the drain these tabloid culture wars have taken Britain?

Kelvin MacKenzie, a man who has done his share of sowing division in the UK, is being invited to share this ghastly view that being a Muslim in the NHS somehow makes you a sinister presence:

LBC clipped the excellent @mrjamesob.bsky.social call with Jack, from Handsworth, on Jenrick's comments..

but trimmed out BEFORE the key take-away that was offered.

So.. I've put it together in a more complete, powerful form: 🔊

MP Claire Coutinho, whose last boss was Rishi Sunak.
Both of them children of immigrants.

Now her boss is a person of colour who grew up in Nigeria.

But instead of highlighting that all three are proof of the SUCCESS of integration she is talking about a need for token white faces for validation?!

It appears @mrjamesob.bsky.social missed the nuance of what Farage appeared to be saying in that unedited clip from Nick Ferragy's love-in this morning.

Nigel seemed to be suggested that the 'extremists calling for Sharia Law in the UK' are, in fact..

CABBIES!

^ Fascinating how the reaction remains pretty much "aww cute! Bless it!".
As if nobody has considered how these might be used.

Are they even illegal?
Does any police force have a policy on how to approach one?

While the UK and much of its media focuses on Farage & others claiming illegal migrants are an existential threat to us all..
Tech Bros have been priming remote-controlled & autonomous robots that can run + grip an object.

Police can barely tackle illegal e-scooters.
What happens when these appear?

Britain will ‘never surrender flag’ to far-right protesters, Starmer says PM condemns attacks against police, racist intimidation of minorities and use of flag to instil fear

OK we're getting somewhere, 24 hours later. Good to hear, but patently not enough.
