Court quashes block on mothers and children in Gaza joining families in UK
Immigration court judge finds Unsafe Journeys Policy was applied unlawfully to two families A decision by the Home Office to block mothers and children in Gaza from joining their families in the UK has been quashed by a court. Families abroad who have had their applications approved to reunite with loved ones in the UK usually have to undergo biometric checks, including fingerprinting and facial images at a Visa Application Centre. But the VAC in Gaza has been closed since October 2023, and it is difficult to get out of the territory. Continue reading...

Why do all the renders of this new station seem to show more of the carpark than the actual station. Will it have comfortable waiting areas? A bridge/underpass with lift access? A nice cafe for passengers? All this shows is a carpark... www.bbc.com/news/articles/c6783p3gk…

If you believe that trans women are automatically better at sports than cis women, you are either a misogynist who believes men are inherently superior to women, brainwashed by bigoted or misogynistic fear mongering, or a bit of both. So please, for the love of god, just shut the fuck up already.

Some people reckon they killed Deansgate, installing the cycle lanes and trees. Absolute nonsense, I’ve never seen it so busy, ever. It used to be full of parked cars and gridlocked traffic, now it’s full of people. Now let’s remove all the traffic and remodel the whole street 👍

Very slow progress. It takes too long to build cycle lanes and there is far too much consultation. But yes the entitlement levels do seem to dissipate as the cycle lane extends west. The noisiest opponents are still the same people from OneChiswick who seem to believe it is their calling.

I sometimes wonder how much the fact that Health ministers are usually drawn from the demographic that uses the NHS the least (able bodied, white men, young-middle aged) is a factor in it's issues. It probably plays a part in the obsession with apps and convenience over continuity and human contact.

“Car owners are the most abused constituency in Cambridge.” Now is certainly a moment in time to label yourself ‘most abused’ because resident parking is going up to $75 per year.
A Nextdoor post from cambridgeport: Car owners are the most abused constituency in Cambridge. Not only has the city removed street lanes, making traffic much worse (Western Ave., et. al.), they have eliminated many parking spaces to allow for bike lanes (see Broadway, et. al.). And in addition to the annual property taxes car owners pay, they now are raising the cost of the parking sticker, and senior citizens, who previously got a break on this fee, are also losing that allowance. Is there an end to the city's gouging of car owners?

Lionel Reid, 19, ploughed his BMW into a cyclist while under the influence of alcohol and then left the scene. Cannabis was also found in his system. The 50-year-old cyclist sustained serious head injuries. I am sure we all feel reassured that Reid’s punishment is an 18-week suspended sentence.

"Police said the bicyclist was not wearing a helmet." Who cares? A bicycle helmet isn't designed to protect cyclists against cars. "At this time, speed, drugs or alcohol do not appear to be contributing factors in the collision, police said." Speed is absolutely a factor, to the 2nd power.

Due in 2024, but timeline now “disappearing” for  video upload on Garda road traffic reporting portal
-- It could help "take our most dangerous drivers off the roads" but opposition spokesperson says it isn't a priority for Minister for Justice. A video upload function for the Garda road traffic reporting portal was due to go live possibly in 2024, then in 2025, and then in 2026 now it has no timeline. The reporting portal with a video upload feature was supposed to simplify the process of providing evidence of road traffic offences.
