Chicanes criticised as 'ridiculous' on North East street
A set of chicanes on a suburban Stockton street is failing to slow down traffic and is causing more accidents than it prevents, say residents.

Jeremy Kyle is interviewing Reform MPs at a live press conference
Discussing who might take over from Keir Starmer as PM, Kyle just said: "She's had a makeover, Angela"
Lee Anderson: "She's throwing her money away, isn't she, to be honest with you"

While the protest was underway, Thames Valley Police issued several tickets to offenders – including one motorist who, when seeing the children wave their signs at him while he was parking on double yellows, mounted the pavement and drove towards them.

Earlier today I looked up media reporting from late 2024. There were doubts about Mandelson, but mostly to do with his position on China or past criticisms of Trump. Numerous mentions of his ego and past resignations, but only a few treated Epstein as a major issue. Farage was surprisingly positive.

Reminder that "jaywalking" was literally made up by american car manufacturers to shift the blame for accidents from drivers to pedestrians. "Jay" was a slang term meaning "idiot" or "rube".
“Jaywalking is permitted in London. In 1966, the police tried to crack down on it, but gave up after three months.”
People walk and cycle on roads by right, people drive under licence.
Jaywalking is not a thing in English law and Waymo must not change that.

“Jaywalker” is a term pushed by the US Auto industry to criminalise pedestrians crossing the road and inconveniencing all those very important motor car drivers. We don’t have that concept here - thank God - and we should not be thinking in those terms.
