Our residents’ association had a meeting with our local Police community liaison officers, in which we were advised as below.
The residents’ response?
We need a Neighbourhood Watch Scheme.

I had a close shave with a driver today on my way to Waitrose. As I was cycling along he reversed out of a side road - a traffic offence - and almost reversed in to me. (Contd……)

![But experts have offered words of caution on the supposed flight of the
rich.
There is no official data on the number of wealthy individuals leaving
because of Labour's tax changes.
"The most recent tax data on wealthy individuals with non-dom status
from HMRC [His Majesty's Revenue and Customs, the UK's tax revenue
department] shows that the number of non-doms leaving the UK is in line
with or below official forecasts," said Mark Bou Mansour, an advocate at
the Tax Justice Network.
Claims that recent revenue-boosting tax reforms have triggered a massive
non-dom exodus are false and part of a wider rhetoric that is detrimental
to the UK's fiscal and economic health, he said.
"Talking about whether the superrich will move if we tax can be a
distraction from talking about the harms to economies and democracies
that arise from not taxing extreme wealth," he said.
Mansour pointed to a 2024 study by the London School of Economics that
interviewed a number of wealthy individuals. It found the most important
factors underpinning their reluctance to migrate were their attachment to
the capital's cultural infrastructure, private health services and schools,
and the ability to maintain social ties.
"There's plenty of strong evidence showing that the superrich don't
choose to relocate just to pay less tax," said Mansour.
Behind a large number of articles predicting an exodus of wealthy people
was a report by the passport advice firm Henley & Partners.
However, the report was found to be based on flawed methodology, and
was later amended.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:o5ziqhe3zamtk74c6tmksehc/bafkreiars3rtyx4yoofekdg45ub3cbgjdtqbvz2cqzlpk3mtxgdv4hirye@jpeg)
This 👇 really boils my piss. Headlines are usually misleading - written by editors, not the journalist, and bearing little resemblance to the copy - and here with the headline repeated twice we get zero clues what that copy might be.

You occasionally see similar things with the RPI inflation index. Here 👇 for example the various price indices went down in just one month, but the rolling annual and quarterly totals to that month were still increases.

I feel your pain. Mine took a bit longer than that, thanks largely to fiddly processes which required two men and a double jointed monkey, and shite instructions with key steps presented in the wrong order and rubbish illustrations.
Got there eventually though…….

I feel slightly conflicted - sure, my left brain tells me to ride defensively “why are these murdering bastards trying to murder me?”, and eg wearing a helmet could be a rational response to that question. My right brain screams that actually, I DO have a right to *be* safe.
