Yes I'm on a bus, I gave up cycling Hackney to Plaistow at the beginning of the year despite it being my most regular route, I can't rely on the Greenway being open or diversions being safe. It now takes twice as long and involves a train and a bus. In good news I'm reading books again.

Court of Appeal just ruled Tower Hamlets DECISION to remove the Bethnal Green LTN is UNLAWFUL.

Councils can't remove without going through proper process & getting Mayor of London's approval.

This is a MASSIVE precedent for London. Years of work vindicated.

This is a good watch, if we are to use systems that offer opinion rather than fact we should pay attention to the opinions of those controlling and profiting from these systems. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTm0...

This is what we're up against. Hospital. Right next to spinal injuries unit. NHS staff member parking on dropped kerbs & on the pavement blocking access. She says she's only parking for 3 mins. I know this isn't true (see thread). I've seen the same car parked here before SH75OZO @yplac.bsky.social

Donald Trump is threatening 10% tariffs on NATO allies for fulfilling their duties as NATO members and resisting his deranged demands for Greenland.

He’ll raise them to 25% in June.

Start saving money on U.S services now.
