If you want to know who runs this cesspit, watch pensioners get arrested in England for protesting genocide and note what we look at daily, as these terrorist groups receive public funding.

Sanctions and boycotts helped enormously to speed up the end of Apartheid in South Africa, and it can help do the same in Israel.

You have no excuse for not signing this petition.

So I'm currently immuno-compromised as a result of my cancer treatment, and having picked up two hard hitting viruses in the last 5 weeks I would like to avoid the tube.

What’s the link between Shabana Mahmood MP and United Health…?🚨

I live in the most ethnically diverse borough in London and indeed the UK. My first generation neighbours from Japan/Korea, India, Pakistan are certainly not strangers to myself, anglo/Irish, or to my partner 2nd generation Bangladeshi. Dissapointed and annoyed.

We've spoken before about the vastly prohibitive costs of Non-Standard cycles, and how the Wheels4Me.co.uk loan scheme seeks to ease that financial burden. Here's a graphic from the newest version of our Guide to #InclusiveCycling (coming soon!) detailing some of those eye-watering estimated costs.

A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, and most of the energy that does, moves the car, not the people.

Sound efficient?

Gary Lineker has said he is leaving Match of the Day because he felt the BBC wanted him to leave over his support for Palestine.

If you support Gary, like.
If you support Palestine, RT!

He should not be forced out for speaking the truth, even if the BBC don't want to hear it.

Excellent editorial here.
An SUV causes 16 times as much road damage as a regular car.
They're way more dangerous in collisions or if one hits a pedestrian or cyclist.
They have no redeeming factors and 99%+ are just ego wagons for their drivers. Tax them to hell

The Observer view on SUVs: they are too dangerous and too big, their drivers should be made to pay
If a car generates more potholes, takes up more space and poses more risk, it is only fair that its owner pays more

Children cycling home from school at this time. So why is the cycle lane on the left hand side full of cars? Because Ealing Council never does any parking enforcement here is the simple answer

All too common a sight sadly.
But not quite as common, is when the driver in question, is driving an Ealing Council CCTV parking enforcement car.

ULEZ works. It’s that simple.

Expanding the Ultra Low Emission Zone wasn’t a decision I took lightly, but the latest figures show that it was the right one for the health of millions of Londoners.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.
