Please can you tell me what the purpose is of spreading numerous areas of dry sand along the Tamsin Trail? It isn’t compressed and poses a hazard to cyclists and other wheeled users. Rain forecast this week will turn it into slurry. πŸ€” @theroyalparks.bsky.social

when are you going to repair the Mail app that is now completely useless since the last software update 18.5? I thought these updates were meant to improve functionality and security, not make it useless. 🀬🀬🀬

We’re in this mess in large part bc the average American is uninformed about fundamentals of civics, history, basic biology, economics, etc, and media and the internet are not meeting the moment.

Is anyone organizing teach-ins or similar for the general public, whether irl or online?

There are calls for Lord Eric Pickles to resign from the House of Lords he complained to the Grenfell Inquiry that he was missing important lunches.

Like if he needs to resign.
RT if he needs to be fired.

Maybe not but it might encourage people to use it if it was secure. I would pay if that was the case.

Secure cycle parking would make a massive difference in Kingston. Drivers attitude to cyclists is appalling though.

Jacob Rees-Mogg wants to place Nigel Farage in the House of Lords.

This video camera study showed that less than 5% of people on bikes broke traffic laws while riding, yet 66% of people did so when driving. And if you REALLY want even MORE bike-riders to obey laws, build more protected bike infrastructure. Via @carltonreid.com

The first Bee Network service pulls out of a snowy Altrincham Interchange early this morning.

The first Bee Network service pulls out of a snowy Altrincham Interchange early this morning.

Despite all of the challenges - legal and meteorological - we did it!

After 40 years of damaging deregulation, Greater Manchester has this morning successfully retaken control of the whole its bus network. πŸ™ŒπŸ»

I do wish we could stop or reduce these everywhere but particularly in cities. One of the problems is that if they are hybrids or electric vehicles the drivers actually think they are being β€˜green’ πŸ™„

Two-Tier Reporting: When Climate Protesters Slow Ambulances They’re Vilified, So Why Are Wealthy Farmers Given a Free Pass? Media outlets rush to condemn climate change campaigners as "middle class" protesters causing "chaos" while ignoring greater disruption by millionaire landowners

Remember all the outraged coverage about a handful of climate protesters slowing ambulances a few years back?

Well it turns out that wealthy farmers doing exactly the same thing on a much bigger scale is absolutely fine

I'm thinking of going for a drive around my town in my average, middle of the road car, with a sign saying, I don't want to pay income tax, council tax, vat or any other tax, everyone has to PAY, because............. πŸ€” I'd just rather not.

Do you think any farmers will back ME 😏

They're supposedly busy 24/7 so how have they found the time to do this? Hopefully no livestock will suffer due to their absence. #TaxEvasion

Brexit has been a disaster for British farmers and yet they're all strangely silent? Dodging inheritance tax clearly more important and issue .

Thames Water needs Β£3bn in 8 weeks or it goes bankrupt.

It must go bankrupt, it must not get a penny from Government, it must not be allowed to raise bills.

It is a private company, and it has private debts.

Time go find out what happens when you can’t pay your bills.

Currently the UK is generating 73.8% of its power from wind.

If we had built Wind Turbines in all the best locations we would currently have about 400% power generation from wind.

Green Energy can power everything easily and cheaply.

That is why Fossil Fuel are so desperate to block it,
