Even close to home we can see that the rule of law is only for those without connections to ticket-fixers.
In my podcast and article I'll talk about it's bad actually to try and stop this sort of thing.

Always suspicious of lovely videos about what we could have that come out of nowhere. The fear of them being from a new iteration of Marble Heads or Retvrn folk lurks ominously. #Speirgorm

Oh my gosh, those who accused Palestine of lying were, in fact, lying themselves. From Israel to America to Ireland, they were running cover for butchers involved in massacring civilians intentionally in collective punishment. Shame, shame, shame

Lot of mention about rack-assistance.or cog railways during my travels in Switzerland. The attached photos show the cog that would be on the driving axle of a train and the rack that would be on the track. This allows trains to handle steeper gradients than usual. #Speirgorm

Last night, while departing Las Vegas, British Airways flight BA274 lost one of its main landing gear wheels. The separation of the right, rear wheel from the A350-1000 was captured on our automated live stream at the airport. The flight continued for a safe landing in London.
