Thread linking to articles on ULEZ. So we're not repeating ourselves & can be easily shared. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

A welcome wake-up to the consequences of exponentially rerouting traffic to main roads, til pinch-points seize up entirely & become angry & hellish👹. #LTN enclaves create dump zones, by design. Glad they finally care, about densely populated busy artery roads, biz & deprivation.

At this stage it's probably best to discuss alternatives that would help everyone as the topic of LTNs has become way too divisive. People have to find a way of dialoging constructively together.

If you're going to read one article about transport in London, this is it. Explains why bus speeds are at a record low, why that matters, why general traffic speeds are among the slowest in the world despite the drop in vehicle numbers. Read on! the-londoner.co.uk/feel-like-your…

Terrible indictment of our times. A very ill mum died despite phoning an ambulance & her daughter with Downs died probably through starvation. They were not found for months. Not a tragic situation it's about the breakdown of our services & communities nottinghampost.com/news/nottingha…

Here's your genocide @owenjonesjourno @mehdirhasan @richardpbacon. Serious question - when it is actually genocide, does...anyone...care?

Tesfai, a 70 year old blind man will never again be able to independently catch the bus from Streaham Hill because of the overblown nonsense of the fanatical cycle lobby and those politicians who have drunk the cycling Koolaid: metro.co.uk/2025/07/18/9-5… via @MetroUK

If you think this should all stop and everyone should be able to access their bus directly to and from the kerb then write to your MP.

Heartbreaking, this entire Syrian Christian family of twenty was murdered by jihadists in Sweida. Druze and Christians in Syria are being slaughtered, raped, tortured, beheaded. Where are the eyes of the world?

The scheme also shows 2-way floating bus stops, which are not safe & accessible for blind people. So why is the scheme going ahead with them? We were told the designs would change during construction with new Guidance from @transportgovuk promised by @simonlightwood however…

.@BBCLondonNews @itvlondon @journotommagill @myldn @Londonist @LonTravelWatch @MetroUK Only 3 arms of the South Circular & Brixton Hill Junction have pedestrian crossings shown in the Streatham Hill Scheme plan. What about the 4th arm? @MayorofLondon @TfL content.tfl.gov.uk/a23-streatham-…

I gave a speech today in an empty chamber. It’s about the need for a Christian restoration.

If you are deemed old enough to vote, then you are old enough to be tried as an adult in a court of law. You can't have it both ways!

My wife accurately noted today that since COVID, there’s been a notable decline in just about everything. It’s subtle but it’s everywhere. Can’t even really explain it beyond the dead weight loss of wealth and vague hand waving about the broken social contract.

"Gang rape remains a persistent issue in London in 2025. Estimated 600–1,000 annual cases based on 13% multi-perpetrator rates & 10,991 rape reports. Historical cases & recent data confirm ongoing youth-driven, estate-based assaults, exacerbated by underreporting & failures."

Role of grooming women involved in violent crime. Some are sexually assaulted, beaten, controlled, prostituted for sexual favours or payment for drugs. Some are forced into debt, face being stabbed or shot if they go to the police or a rival gang. cps.gov.uk/cps/news/role-…
