Very nice to hear a sane voice from Piddington. Serious respect to this woman, who is apparently already being othered by more bigoted villagers.
Life advice from the hand dryer in the Exeter Tesco
Large anti-racism gatherings in Belfast, Glasgow, Sheffield, Londonderry/Derry and Brighton and they get much less news coverage than when a few hundred racists march. Our news coverage needs to do better. The vast majority don’t agree with Yaxley-Lennon, Farage and Lowe
“I said it’s good of Nigel Farage to speak out about the murder of Henry Nowak. What did I say Roy?” “You said he’s a cynical piece of shit who’s exploiting a tragedy to spread hatred and division”
Yesterday in the village we held a bring & buy sale. All proceeds went to a charity supporting those earning just over £100K in the UK. These people can barely keep their children in private education & are now being forced to shop at Tesco’s . Please keep them in your prayers.🙏
This is the best cycling advert ever, especially because I’m in it. It beautifully shows that cycling is for everyone, no matter who you are or where you come from. Bikes bring people together and remind us that cycling is one of the best ways to improve our health and wellbeing.
If you don’t see what’s happening here, if you still think there is zero media bias against the Left, and no smear campaign going on against the Greens, you are completely deluded. The man arrested was a Reform voter.😡
Hey FA - watching Rochdale ça York, it seems matches can be finished after a pitch invasion! Derby vs Fulham 1983 - the game that never finished. #FFC youtu.be/EmzWlJCZIW4?...

Can’t vouch for its accuracy but even if only some of this pic is correct, it shows the legal tangle necessary to make shooting pheasants legal. And presumably the correlation between our lawmakers and those who call massacring animals for fun ‘sport’. (Sorry can’t credit artist.)
Latest Senedd Research report has shown that road casualties in Wales dropped significantly after implementing the default 20mph limit when compared to England and Scotland. Another reason to say #20splenty where people are.
What impact has 20mph had on road safety in Wales?
The introduction of a default 20mph speed limit on restricted roads in Wales in September 2023 generated significant public debate. The policy increased the share of roads with a 20mph limit from 2% to 37% as of September 2023.

The well timed heckle… The original FB post is about a golf club restricting access to a public footpath to stop damage caused by youths on motorbikes. However, this ‘heckle’ is a gem
Brilliant to see road.cc put Charles Windsor back in his box with a well reasoned article. Also, what a hypocritical cock. He’s probably rocked up in a car or a helicopter and is calling people on e-bikes cheats.

He said what?! Anyone fancy asking Charles for his views on disc brakes or the UCI’s handlebar rules?
Here’s Clive outing himself as an idiot. Every study, and even the few times it’s been implemented, have shown this to be a stupid idea. Concentrate on where the real danger comes from Clive. Hint: it’s not cyclists, even selfish ones
One thing in common for the streets chosen by the Telegraph as Britain’s prettiest - almost no cars. there are a few parked up in the two seaside choices, but streets look better without them and they’re way more user friendly for people to live their lives and spend money
How Telegraph headlines lie…in fact having grossly underestimated the rebuild costs (as they guessed them during the purchase), they finally shopped around and managed to get insurance for under £1,500 per year. Absolute non-story
While I’m in favour of celebrities pushing forward environmental protection, it’s difficult to see bird shooting and fox hunting Charles Windsor as anything other than a bit of a hypocrite
I’m still buzzing and it’s two days later! We are all Gentleman Jim “pick that out”
I had to go up to the grit bin this morning and create myself some tyre tracks to make it to the #FULLIV game. Let’s hope the @fulhamfc.com players show the same commitment #COYW
Good old Daily Telegraph spreading (financial) fear with a scenario that actually only affects <1% of households
"I don't know why they've done it – you don't really see anyone on bikes around here, it's not like a city centre” It’s amazing to me that people can say phrases like the above without suddenly understanding “Oh, that’s why they’ve put in a protected bike lane, so people can cycle safely”
In the hard copy of this article, the author claims the fact 29% of the councillors sharing two names (actually three but two are Choudhury and Chowdhury) suggests a lack of diversity 1/
VAR ruining the Premier League and kids’ kickabouts!
It weren't like this in my day.
"it's always the fault of the migrants. Except when it isn't." Colin from Portsmouth thinks we should blame immigrants for things before they even happen.
