At what point did being completely wrong start counting as an “opinion”? Claiming vaccines cause autism isn’t an opinion. It’s utter bullshit. And then they say, “Well, that’s my opinion, you have to respect it.” No. I don’t have to respect stupidity. Fuck off.

Look, you can have low taxation or you can have functioning public services. You can't have both. Lots of people, including the UK government, seem to have forgotten this fact. Taxation isn't theft. It's the foundation of society.

What "60mph limit Thurnham Lane actually looks like.
Time for a 30mph national speed limit on any road with no central lane markings.

Anyone who is more concerned about bikes on pavements than cars on the road is deeply unserious about pedestrian safety.

It would be great if we could take a whole country and change the default speed limit to 20mph and then compare it to one left at 30mph. What if it reduced casualties by 25% and with lower risk reduced insurance premiums by £45 a year? Well it did! bit.ly/4gIBPlJ

Just fuck off with this. How about start the conversation by highlighting how much immigrants contribute to the UK - not least by propping up the NHS and social care system!
Also - forced volunteering is not volunteering, it's unpaid labour.

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

A man using a mobility scooter had to be rescued by the fire service as he became stuck between a wall and a parked car.
How much longer must he and other pedestrians have to wait for a pavement parking ban and adequate enforcement?

Absolute feckin state of this. Apparently this mess is "respectin' are flag" or something. Although maybe they intended to paint the flag of the International Red Cross and are honouring the brave and tireless work they do for refugees around the world ?

Just for perspective, a few weeks ago roughly 100,000 turned up for the London Trans+ Pride march. By contrast fewer than 3,000 ACROSS THE WHOLE COUNTRY, have turned up to anti-asylum "protests". Yet we are meant to take the latter as "the voice of the people" and the former as "the minority".
