Nuts! When I was a teen (during Troubles) for a time we lived close to a British Army Hel base that was support for all the FOBs/Obs towers in South Armagh. It's was one of the busiest bases in Europe at time supposedly. Later on was reported that it would have been at least a 2nd strike target π²

A Screenshot of the Soviet Map of Belfast
To look at the context of the ongoing Russian war in Ukraine you have to understand the mindset of Putin the ex-KGB Soviet. Soviet Union wanted to spread Communism through empire & colonialism. You don't map cities in such detail just to nuke them #SovietBelfast #Mapping go.qub.ac.uk/sovietbelfast

Man given suspended sentence after death of boy by careless driving
Aaron Webb was struck by a van on Friday 11 December 2021 and later died in hospital.
'McGuckin had taken his hands off the wheel at times and was eating his lunch with a fork and spoon whilst driving.' Kill with your car in this country, suspended sentence. π‘

Ok. You're right. But why stop at cyclists? Let's make pedestrians wear high-vis and helmets too! It's safer right? Actually, let's make absolutely everyone wear high-vis and helmets at all times everywhere (except people in cars obviously!) so people driving cars feel better

Data dashboard showing the NI energy mix for last 39 days with renewable energy at 57%
The weather here has been crap but almost 60% of our energy has been generated by renewables, primarily wind, in the last 30 days. Without this mix we would be burning mostly gas. π¨

It's going to be "but helmets are good!" all day from people who don't cycle and won't read anything about it, isn't it?

Yeh, I think I read a while back that the 'speed nagging' you get in modern cars when over the local road limits should have been part of a speed management system (speed restricted) but car manufacturers lobbied gov's not to make it a law etc...

Geofenced speed restrictions, especially in urban areas, we be mandatory in autonomous cars but unfortunately at least a decade away. We could fix it tomorrow with good policy! Culture same here in North, 'wear yellow FFS, we can't see you' π

Classic Victim blaming, wear yellow and we won't kill you, yet mandatory speed limiting on new cars was actively lobbied against by European manufacturers and never happened. Bring on autonomous vehicles, the laws will quickly change when companies are liable for 'accidents'. π

Helmets and hi-vis clothing to be made mandatory for e-bikes and e-scooter users
Cabinet will sign off on plans to explicitly ban the use of scramblers on roads this morning.
Great way to push people away from cycling.
We live in a country where the goverment refuse to lower speed limits to 30km/hour and instead want to dress everyone in hi viz so motorists can drive like they want and the gov can cut funding to cycling infrastructure. Pathetic.

Even as a primary school kid in dark troubles period of 86 we were excited with the idea of a teacher in space. I remember drawing a picture of Challenger on the pad in class. Rushing home to watch the launch on BBC 'Newsround'. I knew straight away the ship and crew were lost. π
