I didn't know there were national cat days until I saw your post, but good to know. Thank you.

It's not something that's widely celebrated in the UK, but a very important cat is lobbying to change that.

I don't think anyone forces diets onto others.

However, there's plenty of influence, if you look into where most farming subsidies go, and also into the funding of think tanks - and the policy and opinions they are paid to influence.

I provided the link, as you are interested, why not give it a read?

Follow the link for details of the infographic, that shows UK land usage, and how the UK doesn't have enough land to sustain it's animal protein rich diet.

A far more effective approach would be to address the delusions that many people have around the consequences of a diet consisting of animal protein.

Starting with how our diets are a major factor in the depletion of wildlife and biodiversity.

I think you are drawing on the fact that the production of animal protein for human consumption is massively inefficient. Then equating inefficiency as measure of prosperity.

This is how the UK uses its land, and the land from other countries to feed itself.

True. But a few years ago, my partner and former housemate both told me that they avoid this route at night.

I remember it distinctly as I hadn't considered the choice of route from their perspectives.

Four days to go for this consultation: letstalk.oxfordshire.gov.uk/east-st-hele...

If you have a few minutes to respond positively to this scheme which will make it dramatically nicer to walk, wheel, cycle, scoot in my town, I would very much appreciate it

Thank you!

As a man, it's easy to forget how much more accessable cycling can be than for women.

For example, at night I'll often cycle along the river and out of town on the unlit NCN5.

I do this without fear of what might be lurking in the shadows.

Whereas many women avoid this route and cycle on the road

Nooo! Not Gary Gritter

An essential thread that addresses the myths and self deceptions behind common ethical, environmental, or welfare reasons people give to justify their animal protein laced diet.

"would put 7,500 jobs at risk."

The classic trope that all employment is equally beneficial to society.

Sorry, but if your job is to exploit addicts, and typically people from less privileged backgrounds so as to extract their cash, then, just maybe, it's better that your job didn't exist.

As an aside, I saw that screenshot and assumed it must have been a bot / troll post because, surely, no one is that closed minded as to avoid such a wide range of dishs.

Then I looked, and saw she has a connection to Reform.

It makes sense now.

It must be tough being Oakeshott, and being upset by so many lovely places.

Also rental bikes / scooters.

Generally people don't care if it's a Lime / Forest / Voi. They just want a ride.

It this stresses you out, it might help you to try to understand that when cycle lanes are useful they are used.

So, my suggestion is to be patient, and if you overtake make sure you give plenty of space and everything will be okay.

Distribute Oxford Congestion charge permits to everyone in the city.

People holding permits at the end of the year receive compensation for any remaining permits, paid for from charges.

Okay, this has its flaws, but it's a an incentive and compensation to people who are not part of the problem.

My new piece about Nathan Gill and Nigel Farage for @thenerve_news in which we ask:

Why, even now, is no-one asking questions?

He's worried about his, and Reform's links to Putin, isn't he?

Why else would he be pushing this ridiculous culture war nonsense?

What price loyalty? UK supermarket cards rated As prices rise, we look at whether schemes such as Tesco’s Clubcard and Sainsbury’s Nectar are a good deal

Does anyone else go out of their way to avoid shopping in Tesco / Sainsburys?

It pisses me off that you are increasingly pushed to be a card holding member, and data provider to get discounts.

I refuse to show any loyalty to a supermarket. They can fuck off.

It's depressing to see how the Daily Mail has been a major factor in their radicalization.

Not really.

More like children shouldn't have to wear helmets as no one is out to kill them.

An excellent explainer about improvements planned for Abingdon town centre.

Improvements for pedestrian access to Market Square.

The proposed changes also connect the missing link in NCN5, meaning that you'll now be able to cycle along this stretch of the national cycle route!

Hey Nathan. Thanks for the explainer. It's very clear, and it helped to make more sense of the plans that I've already looked at.

I used to cycle commute to Milton Park, so I know too well how poor the current design is.

With thanks to everyone involved for getting Abingdon this far!

One was installed in York a few years ago, and there's a campaign to improve it.

There are some council / planning documents online.

Don't know anything else, I just recall seeing in a few years ago.

It's great to see the improved pedestrian and cycle provision happening!

Thanks to everyone involved.

I appreciate it's not a very helpful comment, but there would be masses of space if equal priority was given to through traffic, ie cars and bikes using the NCN.

There used to be a Taxi rank here, and parking is removed to prioritise motors during the fair.

Bikes are bottom of the pecking order.

What's your view on the jars of pre chopped garlic, if you have an opinion on it?

40 cloves ~ a jar I guess. Job done. Bish, bash bosh.

Several bikes locked to Sheffield bike stands at the end of a drive

Thanks. A useful article.

And it gives me an opportunity to share bike parking that I installed.

It's used more often for guest parking, as I store mine undercover.

Not exactly space saving, unless you compare to guests arriving in their car.
