Yes thousands turned out - which is far more than I’d like - but that is dwarfed by the millions that understand real patriotism means loving your country as it actually is, not hating its diversity or trying to exploit its challenges. That’s what our flags actually represent

This by @sundersays.bsky.social now ongoing useful and necessary fact check against the total nonsense most UK papers are still spouting out. As if they still really want to make it happen.
I am so sick and tired of it.

The approach is again to list dozens of locations as "nationwide protests": 13 locations last night, 30 today/tomorrow.
Some struggle to attract 25 people (Rhoose airport, Wolverhampton).
Most get 40-100 people.
A handful (about 1 in 10) get 200-300 people, usually due to a local context

Right. It’s time to show those scumbags who Britain REALLY is.
Show them that we aren’t racist, aren’t stupid, we utterly despise his mate Trump and that we won’t be bootlickers for billionaires.
If none of that sways you, maybe the fact that he’d privatise the NHS, will.

What’s happening in Sicily, Italy 🇮🇹 is absolutely extraordinary!
Mount Etna is erupting while its summit remains covered in snow—an incredible clash of fire and ice.
Here are some explorers skiing between lava flows and snowy slopes—a truly unprecedented sight! ⛷🔥❄️

Would love this to be widely understood by the public, planners and politicians. I can see why many members of the public see this as counter-intuitive, but planners and politicians have no excuse (since 1955!).
It's a goal of mine to help make this the most famous, well-known and UNDERSTOOD quote about cities in history. Please share it as much as you can. #InducedDemand

I have a big ask. My 9yo son is autistic and he’s been raising a betta fish he named Kevin. Yesterday He asked if he could “share a photo of Kevin with the whole world“. I don’t know if this will work, but a dad’s gotta try. Like and share if that’s your thing. Kevin says hi! 🐟👋

I often think about how so many cities are absolutely AGONIZING over the idea of turning a single street, or even a block, into a people-place and pedestrian stroll, while thriving communities like Gràcia in Barcelona are filled with so many streets & squares with no cars, or at most “tamed” cars.”

This iconic Fabian Todorovic cartoon is still one of the best I’ve seen at illustrating the remarkable amount of space we surrender to cars, leaving little space left for everyone and everything else. The text added later makes the bonus point that many drivers still manage to complain about it.
