The only function the pavements have now is as parking space while making drivers believe the roads rightly belong to them.

Did being polite and not shouting slogans help e.g. Gary Lineker, or Ms Rachel? No it fucking did not, and it will not ever help you either.

Yep why does everything have to be 'learnt' in this way? How exactly is this teachable? Feel like kids just need more space and time to have facilitated conversations about this kind of stuff not training sessions.

Yea it's an on going issue exacerbated by two school recently merging to one which has increased traffic and resulted in a few crashes. Deeper solutions feel quite long term but awareness raising (other than me shouting at drivers!) definitely needed.

It's infuriating. Many drivers seem to be oblivious to school start and finish times but that said they sometimes turn out to be parents themselves.

It's regular sadly - the area we live in and many like it need radical change to prioritise people/ children over cars.

Ah thank you though I'm now fast approaching 51 (February). I spent the 50th looking over the sea on the North Devon coast which was perfect.

I noticed that banner for the first time today. Strange one. Reads like a joke but somehow isn't.

Don't mind it. One living room looks like somewhere the Jedi Council would meet though.

The irony is people like Marina Hyde are themselves terrible at self-criticism precisely because of this conceptualisation of political difference as one of character. And why there is no vision. 'We have better politics because we are simply better people'.

Classic centrist exceptionalism. 'This tendency is most definitely not limited to the left of that spectrum' she says before informing us it's also on the far right of it too. Never the centre of course where everyone is above all that, immune to any such infantile psychological shortcomings.

On a certain level he simply works the Old Etonian confidence trick on the centrist as Boris did the nationalist.
