If someone flyposts the tractors with something in support of Palestine Action it would ensure an immediate police response.
It's looking as if the farmers protest in Whitehall today have ignored the police request not to bring their tractors.

I guess I now have to do a thread on shoes in ancient Mesopotamia in response to this (which happens to be from one of my favourite accounts).
I’m not an archaeologist, nor do I really know anything about shoes, but let’s go on this journey together.

We boarded nearly four hours ago and finally got a baggie of chips. Everyone was getting hungry! This is a long international flight so people are served a meal and might not have brought any food.

Just once I'd like the tractor tanks to be checked and if they're running on red diesel the drivers prosecuted.
I see the farmers are back with their tractors clogging up Central London streets. Not going to find much fodder there.

You're an engineer. In what discipline other than traffic engineering do engineers get to roll-out deadly designs that result in multiple deaths, countless life changing injuries and massive harm to society, and yet still get to keep their registration? Why do traffic engineers get a free pass?

My grand unified theory of suburbia is that camera doorbells are like SUVs, they provide an illusion of security while making you more paranoid
“Camera doorbells are social cancer as a technology, breaking down social solidarity and further encouraging people to see strangers with suspicion.”
Christmas is coming, and the Black Friday sales signal we’re in peak gift-buying season.
When you’re picking out gifts for friends and family this year, there’s a whole slew of tech products that are better to avoid. I put together a guide to help you through it.

It's only AI Slop if the recipe comes from a planet destroying data centre, otherwise it's just sparkling gruel.
NEW: AI “recipe slop” is overrunning search and social. Food creators say Google’s AI Overviews and glossy fake food pics are drowning out real, tested recipes — collapsing traffic and setting home cooks up for disaster, especially this Thanksgiving.

This huge amount could have paid for lower train and bus fares, better stations, safer walking, wheeling and cycling and much more!

Last night the Government steamrollered its Planning Bill through, slamming the door on vital protections for nature.
They said it would be a ‘win-win’ for the economy and nature.
But in reality, they’ve pushed nature into last place.
