He literally set off a bomb in a UK street. If this had been the IRA Pierce would calling for them to be hung, drawn and quartered. This is domestic terrorism pure and simple. A bomb set off to terrorise with the aim of getting a government to change its policy. Literally a textbook definition.

People constantly claim that having a child makes biking impossible. The reality is that the only thing restricting your mobility is hostile city infrastructure. Streets have the power to either give you safe transportation options or force you into a car for every single errand.

4.4m UK jobs fall below the real Living Wage. Real Living Wage rate is £14.80 an hour for workers in London, £13.45 elsewhere. Statutory minimum wage for workers aged 21 and over is £12.71 per hour. Neoliberals begrudge decent wages. Can't grow economy on the back of poverty.
