Quick Reference.

Why do they control the narrative?

And BTW trying to refute everything that came out of right wing talking heads in the run up to Brexit resulted in labelling the arguments against as 'project fear'.

And why is that?

That is exhaustive and cedes control of the narrative to them.

We need to stop wasting attention on the far right and instead concentrate on the actual problems undermining society and the solutions to them, grounded in evidence.

The way to defeat the far right is to introduce policies that address inequality and wealth extraction.

Labour refuse to do this, instead blaming immigration for the problems caused by neoliberlism.

A dedicated music player is far less distracting. And your music doesn't get interupted by notification sounds.

1 TdZ stage left to go..

And when he is driving, he thinks nothing of flooring the accelerator in his Mercedes, to try and fail beating the red light at the ped crossing we use. On a sopping wet road.

In the winter months we live with the glare from his 10,000 lumen floodlight which is on during every hour of darkness.

First nice day in 2026.

And the twat behind our house is out with his pressure washer, cleaning his paved back garden.

Our summer sound track. He will be out there doimg it for hours every weekend until October.

Cyclists cycling 'recklessly' is the reason they are not seen?

Sure.

Not in my experience.

I wasn't riding recklessly either time I was hit. And for the record, I was wearing hi-vis and I had lights switched on, despite it being before dusk.

1/x Have you heard of the SS Richard Montgomery, often dubbed the "Doomsday Wreck"? This shipwreck is considered one of the most dangerous in the world, resting in the Thames Estuary near Sheerness, Kent, just a mere 30 miles (48 km) from the outskirts of London. A small🧵

16 of 18 Tour de Zwift stages done.

This means riding the last 2 tomorrow, to finish before the tour ends.

Both 2 hour stages.

What do we reckon?

Seriously, just let the buses stop on the carriageway and design a proper floating bus stop.

No wonder Essex has terrible traffic.

What they want is a Greggs next door to a Weatherspoons.

Let's be clear. If Streeting cared remotely about the wellbeing of trans youth he would have called an immediate public inquiry into the 500% increase of deaths in trans kids after he and others stopped gender affirming care.

But instead, he commissioned a bogus report to try and cover it up.

I also think, this is why modern car headlights are dangerous.

The contrast between what they illuminate and what they don't illuminate is too great.

This is how all drivers should drive. With full concentration, and anticipation of the unexpected.

That is the responsibility.

... onto the road right in front of us. I brought the car to a stop without drama.

My wife at the time, was amazed I had seen well enough to pre-empt that.

I recall driving once on a country road at night. It was totally pitch black, save for the area illuminated in front of us by thr cars head lights.

I saw movement in the hedge and slowed the car down. Then, a presumably drunk human fell out of the hedge and rolled down the embankment ...

When these people block people who make fair points that challenge their point of view, you know they are are posting in bad faith.

I bet less than 2% of pedestrians wear hi-viz.

So that would mean the hi-vis wearing pedestrians are over-represented.

What can we infer from that about the safety benefit?

An image of the side of a French motorway. Behind a row of orange cones is a row of damaged hi viz painted road maintenance vans. Most appear to have been rear ended at speed.

French authorities know what's what.

Charming choice of words.

And sure. It's not like the Royal Family have never been used as a distraction from what is going on with Government before.

This meant to take the heat off Starmer/Mandelson?

You do realise hi viz doesn't actually work and may even be counter productive.

There are a papers on driver recognotion of and conspicuity aids for cyclists.

You would do well to read them.

There are very specific measures cyclists can and do take to help drivers recognise them.

Thus mandating helmets is unnecessarily making cyclists a special case.

Helmets infer cycling is dangerous when in reality ot isn't. That deters people from cycling. And compelling evidence tells us fewer people cycling increases the risks.

But please continue with your baselese aeguments.

Drivers and vehicle occupants are more likely to suffer head injuries than non-competing cyclists.

Where are the calls for drivers to don helmets?
