Dear UK journalists, Do your job. If Farage says the NHS is broken, force him to explain how he'd fix it and what that would mean for us in practice. If he says we must leave the ECHR, pin him down on what that would mean for our rights and international treaties. Never let him just use slogans!

I ride, walk, and drive, and these figures are no surprise. The level of lawlessness is astonishing and I am constantly bevaving defensively, especially while cycling.
Of nearly 19,000 driving violations captured over two weeks, precisely zero drivers were prosecuted. This is because there isn't enough back-office capacity at West Midlands Police, and the process to issue fines hasn't kept pace with camera tech. www.bbc.com/news/article...
I've got no way of verifying this as true. But, if true, it is really important...
I had a fess published a few years ago about how I couldn't connect with my lifelong pals cos all they wanted to do was booze and take coke. I told them how I felt, turned out they thought the same and now we climb Munro's on Sundays. Lads, talk to your pals.
