Considering the life I've had, it'll really be very funny if it's the contempt that government has for cycling and its obsessive erotic affair with cars that eventually radicalises me into throwing myself in front of the King's horse

Trump and Johnson can't nationalize elections, nor can Trump cancel them. What they are signaling is that they will try to repeat the 2020 "stop the steal" routine in Nov. and that Congress is on board.
But "election fraud" won't work for congressional voting the way it can for a statewide race.

And there we have it folks, having failed to do anything to halt the injury and death toll on our roads the government now plans to criminalise cycling.

The Trump administration is demanding access to the European travelers' sensitive data.
The move could endanger EU citizens' privacy, lawmakers and civil rights groups warn.

Micheál Martin has been a TD for 37 years. He’s been in government for 25 of those years and in cabinet for 20 of those years. He’s been either Tánaiste or Taoiseach since June 2020.
