Yes, but when those of authority deliberately get it wrong & the media follows, public ain't gonna bother fact check them.

Home made sign telling illegal parkers that rhe council actually enforce the parking regs and towing could happen

Double yellows

Cars parked anyway, on the double yellows

Drivists looking out for drivists because double yellows aren't enough...but oh

If it’s true that the United States bombed an elementary school and killed scores of children it is an unfathomable crime. I have never been more disgusted to be an American.

Uh...not an e-bike

Definitely not an e-bike

And this isn't an e-bike

But this is not an e-bike

Can anyone tell me what the bike industry and/or People For Bikes are doing about the way e-bikes are being blamed for havoc caused by people riding electric motorcycles?!!?

WAY MORE THAN HALF THE STORIES ABOUT DEATHS CAUSED BY E-BIKES DO NOT INVOLVE E-BIKES. THIS IS KIND OF IMPORTANT.

Thames Water discharging sewage into watercourse at South Morton for 940 hours … and counting.

No rain for ~4 days, and no storms or heavy rain for longer than that.

They should be prosecuted for this asap and the law applied (which can be imprisonment btw not just fines that end up on bills)

And you know all the shipping that is currently disrupted? Just remember 40% of the entire world's shipping is used simply to move fossil fuels around.

With cheaper renewals, we would also nearly halve the considerable pollution from shipping.

Cycling Electric investigation on how misinformation on ‘electric bike’ fires is increasing the danger to consumers - News - The ACT Cycling Electric has published  an investigation into how misinformation on ‘electric bike’ fires imay be increasing the danger to consumers and affecting sales of e-bikes across the UK.

Oh @marksuttonbike.bsky.social for @cyclingelectric.bsky.social have been on this for some time now. Media could just learn the EAPC regs to know which is which but their anti-cycling mindset, it's better for clicks to misinform the public. www.cycleassociation.uk/news/?id=405...

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.

Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.

We live in Orwellian times.

Nothing new then...

Manchester Evening News accused of stoking anti-cycling sentiment after “incorrectly” claiming new bike lane set to be “ripped up again” The Manchester Evening News has been accused of “sensationalism” and stoking anti-cycling sentiment after publishing a story on modifications to recently-installed cycling infrastructure – by claiming...

Local cycling campaigners have criticised the MEN’s reporting on the latest instalment of Oldham Road’s “insane saga”, pointing out that the cycle lane will, in fact, remain in place – and is simply being painted green

Asda at Colchester have barriered their entrance/exit. Toilets now only accessible if you go into the store, past the aisles & thru the tills. No way to easily use before you shop.

No-one should have to worry about going to the toilet when making everyday journeys. How we design loos can have a huge impact on who feels confident about travelling.

Female athletes must pay £185 to prove their sex Matt Lawton - Chief Sports Correspondent British female track and field athletes are being asked to pay £185 for a sex test if they want to compete internationally. World Athletics requires all athletes to take an SRY gene test before competing in the female category at major championships and Diamond League events to guarantee fair competition by excluding trans and DSD (differences of sex development) competitors. Before the World Championships in Tokyo last September, World Athletics gave $100 per test for the thousand or so female athletes needing one. More money will be provided by the international federation for this year’s World Junior Championships. But British women have been advised by UK Athletics (UKA) to pay for the test themselves, urging them to have the cheek swab, which indicates the presence of a Y chromosome, “as soon as possible to avoid delays around selection”. However, some women have complained it is unfair when the test is not required for men. UKA has a hardship fund to pay for the test and will assess requests on a case-by-case basis. But the situation is symptomatic of a national federation already facing financial challenges, made worse by UK Sport cutting its funding for this Olympic cycle. While almost £32 million was given to the relatively niche sports that won five medals at last month’s Winter Olympics, athletics has had its funding cut from £22.18 million to £20.45 million despite winning ten medals in 2024. It was only last year UKA returned to some form of financial stability, posting a profit of £107,588. But it is now facing a big fine after admitting corporate manslaughter over the death of Abdullah Hayayei, who died in 2017 after a metal cage fell on him while he was training for the World Para Athletics Championships in London.

A single-panel cartoon in Private Eye. Onto a photo of plumber and Green MP Hannah Spencer giving her election victory speech, with Reform's Matt Goodwin in the background, a speech balloon has been added, so that Hannah is saying: "I've stopped the cock."

Bravo, Private Eye, bravo.

The deranged attacks on Miliband have nothing to do with North Sea oil & gas, which peaked in 1999.

It’s about keeping Britain hooked on fossil fuels.

Even with new licences, North Sea output will fall by 95% from 2026 to 2050.

Only renewables can deliver British energy sovereignty.

I certainly would. Also an app for photographing and reporting illegal parking would be tremendous.

NYC has created an official reporting app for engine idling, it works well.

If the UK was serious about engine idling, and illegal parking, HMG would develop a similar app.

There are plenty of concerned citizens who would use it.

Very much so! Same with any motor vehicle that's not road legal. More effective than points & fines.

The Rowling Tax - and only women are required to pay it.

Former Tory donors flock to Reform, including a massive donation from Thai-based billionaire There is no question about it - Reform are a party run by foreign donations, from powerful elites who don't pay tax in the UK

No full business case? No problem! At least, where the Lower Thames Crossing is concerned.

Shocking that billions are being squandered on this 'smart' motorway. The government is playing fast and loose with taxpayers' money for a white elephant scheme that will deliver little economic benefit.

Hardly enforced by the amount of balaclava wearing bikers on, illegal unregistered electric motorcycles, but cycle on the pavement & they'll crack down on ya!

Is there a hotel full of refuge-seeking tax evaders from Dubai that we can picket?

Councils call for upgrade of 'outdated and unsafe' A75 and A77 Local authority leaders in Dumfries and Galloway and South Ayrshire seek action on the A75 and A77.

If the authorities were serious about improving road safety, then average speed cameras and reduced limits would a better and cheaper fix.

"But they're parking in my part of the road".

Nope. It's nobody's part of the road. It's the councils' and the only duty they have to ensure the ability to pass and repass. In fact, for many councils, they are already in breach of that by allowing on-street parking.

We need to spend millions here because drivers keep taking risks. Ah, OK.

South East Water faces £22m fine for supply failures The firm was unable to cope during high demand, Ofwat says, leading to

Ofwat £22m fine proposal for South East Water for repeated supply failures.

"Proposal" = companies with criminal convictions negotiate, may never pay.

Thames Water to pay 2024 fines by 2030 or never.

2024 fines on Yorkshire and Northumbrian Water quietly waived.

Execs never fined or prosecuted.
