Advent Day 19:

It's 150214 "The Bentham Line - A Dementia Friendly Railway". She's pretty much a guarantee on these, you know this 🤣

Here she is on a dark evening at Sheffield, ready to head to I believe Leeds, back in November.

Finally framing this 1950s RoSPA poster that I got in a Herefordshire charity shop.
It was in a basket with rolls of wrapping paper for 50p.
There was also a Wicked Willie poster & an East 17 one with tits biroed onto everyone except Tony Mortimer, I like to think they came from the same house

Everyone knows about Ahmed al-Ahmad, the Syrian Muslim migrant who took down one gunman. Another man, a Middle Eastern refugee, ran into a firefight and kicked the gun away from the other gunman. Police shot him, and bystanders kicked him in the head while he was down, thinking he was the terrorist.

GB news, started broadcasting in June 2021, only a couple of weeks before the UK government finally banned kremlin propaganda channel Russia Today (RT). GB news then started funding the same Putin apologists instead. Coincidence anyone? Something perhaps for the promised government review ?

A reminder that Nigel Farage has pocketed more than £400,000 this year from GB News.

No wonder Farage is cheering Trump on in his attacks on the BBC.

A single person is killed on the railways & an investigation is launched to take steps to prevent it happening again

5 people a day are killed on UK roads, yet this is dismissed as “accidents”, “just happens”, & no mention of any human involvement

Why do we make deadly exceptions for drivers?

Imagine if we treated road deaths the way we treat deaths on the railways or in planes.

UK councils have no spare cash for contingencies such as this.
The same happened with the flyover in Gateshead. The council doesn't have the money to demolish it.
The Scottish govt will have to give them the money.

Harrowing statement by the judge here. An extreme case of road violence took place in Liverpool in May. 130 injured, with an immense amount of trauma that followed (described in detail).
