Everyone deserves a safe, affordable place to call home. But across Europe, people are priced out, forced to move farther away from their jobs, their friends, their roots. It doesn’t have to be this way. And European lawmakers know it. Agree? Add your name! action.wemove.eu/sign/2025-11...

You hear a lot of talk about how our High Streets are full of nail bars, vape shops and barbers but has anyone noticed how many funeral parlours have appeared in the last few years?

It's a truly bizarre system.

"Great Britain is called "Great" to distinguish it from "Lesser Britain," which is the region of Brittany in modern-day France. The name is geographical, not a reflection of superiority"

It strikes me that so much of our modern political discourse boils down to too many misunderstanding this fact.

Orpington down side approach to the depot.
Illegally parked cars here day in day out.
I've reported it a couple of times over the years. Station managers have been informed in the past but nothing is ever done about it.

Hey @serailway.bsky.social
Once again, station approach is full of unauthorised cars ignoring the no parking signage.
Maybe get some parking enforcement staff down there?

I'm guessing it must be a generational thing?
I certainly didn't go to School with anyone named Colin and it doesn't seem to be a millennial name so angry pensioner demographic?

Are some names more "right wing" than others or is it unconscious bias on my part I wonder? 🤔

I've noticed over the years on social media that some of those with the most right wing opinions always seem to be called Colin.

Any other names people have noticed?
