In the supermarket today I saw a man hit in the face with a bottle of Omega-3 pills

Luckily he only suffered super fish oil injuries

This paper fits very well with the graph below in explaining why Biden lost the election. The economic improvements during his tenure were mostly due to increased oil and gas production, and most of that money went to rich people.

TfL has invested in over 300 new enforcement cameras at high risk locations to ensure compliance at yellow box junctions, bus lanes, banned turns etc

This vital work is helping make London's road network safer and reducing chaos & congestion across the capital.

British Transport Police's decision to not investigate bike thefts outside train stations where bikes have been left for more than two hours is really concerning. It could effectively decriminalise it.

Together with Lib Dem colleagues I've written to the BTP to get clarity.

Peeps.
Let's not get into arguments between people on foot and cycling.
Yes some are nobs, but divide and conquer is exactly what the drivist lot want.
The problem is the shitty infra that non car users have to deal with. We should be allies not enemies.

#OnThisDay 176 years ago, the GWR opened a branch from Slough to Windsor, now Windsor & Eton Central. The magnificent building dates from a rebuild 1895-97, and sadly no longer sees trains as the branch was truncated to create a shopping centre. buff.ly/NiERYDP
Looking through the original elegant trainshed at Windsor & Eton Central, now lined with cafes with a cobbled floor as people pass through. The lettering 'Windsor Royal Shopping' has been applied to the end facade of the trainshed roof, with a crest above.

I know statistics are poorly understood and are misused. But facts matter

Between the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them

Electric cargo bikes can replace many everyday car trips for the average family and “reshape suburban family mobility”, say Oxford University researchers. 49 British households were loaned e-cargo bikes for school runs, shopping trips, family outings and other day-to-day use.

Last year, the world added a record 582GW of renewable energy capacity. That’s over 91% of all new power – with #nuclear nowhere. In fact, each year, nuclear adds as much net global power capacity as #renewables add every two days.

Oxford Bus Co has announced more frequent bus services from November to coincide with the congestion charge coming into effect. The improvements mean Blackbird Leys and Cowley will have services to the city centre every 10 minutes, while Iffley Road gets a new night bus.
