Shared space is particularly disliked by VIPs - in Scotland there is a lot in town centres and many just feel banned by danger. There is no tactile signage, so it is all dependent on the charity of cyclists (eg at a bus stop) or motorists. I think indicating where we should each be is better.

This view often falls foul of those wanting to push "disabled people vs cyclists" narratives, where "disabled people" are limited to visually impaired and frail pedestrians, excluding mobility aids. A cycle is one of the most common mobility aids. And law requires ALL disabled to be considered.

Matt Wardman @mattwardman.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

They are NOT "cycle lanes"; they are MOBILITY lanes used by elderly, disabled & mobility aid users. And regarded as such by the UK Government since (?) 2024 They are PART of inclusive infrastructure. Throwing eg wheelchair users into general traffic at every bus stop is not on.

A supplementary (I'll PM you if this does not get through) - how long do we get to respond to this type of notice? Is this another of these abusively short consultation periods? The one here has a "reply by in writing" date, but no publication date.

Matt Wardman @mattwardman.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

Mark, do you have any knowledge as to why this is claimed to be a "permissive path"? Surely it is something more like an "Adopted Footway", which is a variety of Right of Way equivalent ? I have little knowledge as to how these apply on Trunk Roads.

My speculation is that they could try renouncing British Citizenship, but I doubt that would actualy work as we have worldwide jurisdiction on these crimes. I'm not sure of Goodwin's position on this. A larger concern is perhaps that an audience was willing to watch & the values in their heads.

Over here in the UK she is seen as what we call an "end of the pier show", like one of your Atlantic City Boardwalk freak shows. She is "Lettuce Liz" because a newspaper ran a livestream of a lettuce, which had not wilted by the time she resigned. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liz_Tru...

They will be claiming that they are victims of political 2 tier justice & why does no one look at the Muslim Rape Gangs. Our far right (further right than Farage who has already had his fingers burned by Tate) are already jumping on it. I would expect the US Far Right to help them quietly.

Clacton Byelection Report. Farage standing. Lib Dem not standing. Tory not standing. Labour not standing. Restore UK not standing. If the Greens do the right thing, we will have Nigel Farage vs Count Binface. And that would be exquisite. The USA media would be all over it as they love Binface.

@pronouncedalva.bsky.social @PronouncedAlva Listening to your interest in the place of community organisations in devolution of power / money on the podcast, I'm interested in lessons to be learnt from Andrew Mawson's (Lord Mawson) history in the Bromley-by-Bow project & Community Action Network.

Billy Brit II - the BNP pamphlet

Meanwhile, this from @bloggerheads.bsky.social is still quite amusing on Bilyl Brit the BNP from 2013 - apart (for me) from one somnwhat imo gratuitous reference at the end. But it's a great video. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ges0...

I'm starting to use a vocabulary branding these types, and Farage etc, as traitors to Britsih values, not patriots.

100

Thanks. That would not surprise. The only reference I have to the phrase is Nick Griffin trying to launch a network initiative in the mid-2010s after the BNP went tits-up ! There is a dead blog somewhere iirc.

A graphic that came across my sight. Does anyone have any idea who these "British Unity" people are? It is strange for something called "British Unity" to pantomime themselves taking a swing at other British people.

A graphic put out by something called "British Unity", showing a figure made out of a Union Jack (correct way up for once) taking a kick at a figure made out of the Pride rainbow colours.

The graphic carries the slogan, "The only pride we celebrate is British pride."

Will you be starting a new article, Mark? They have reportedly already lost one of their new Councillors expelled from Ref UK. This is (borrowing the 'Friends' style) The Holocaust Denying One, Jay Leslie Cooper, for Bootle West in Sefton. bsky.app/profile/refo... @markpackuk.bsky.social

It's not much good for wheelchair users when the machine is on a (*&^%$ podium. It is normal incompetence, stupdity and no consultation. They all do it, but Ref UK are the worst. They will destroy themselves at future elections.

That's actionable under EA 2010, and will be about £2k to £5k compensation per act of discrimination.

That is Labour losing nearly 80% of their seats. I don't believe it.

Christian Nationalists See Trump as God's Righteous Avenger (with Matthew Taylor)

That's a map for the rivalries for when Trump is in his padded cell, and the structure of the structure of the Christian Nationalist jelly in the meantime. More in Pat Kahnke's video: youtu.be/LFUj105fPhc?... 4/4

3 - JD Vance. Born again Roman Catholic with his own opinions (disagrees with Pope / Bishops). Hankering after Traditionalist Roman Catholicism, linked to a desire for Roman Catholic political power which is the 'integralist' angle. 6 Scotus Judges Roman Catholic (c/f 20% of the population). 3/4

100

2 - Paula White - Trump's faith adviser. Independent charismatic (miracles, prophecy, speaking in tongues) church leaders with thousands of people & perhaps a TV programme. Wanting Christ to return pronto, so keen on Israel (as 'prophesied'). White is Trump's adviser, so controls who sees him. 2/4

Matt Wardman @mattwardman.bsky.social · 30/03/2026

An interesting summary of Trump's religious factions (video link at end): 1 - Hegseth, Reformed type doctrine. Think South Africa Dutch Reformed / Northern Ireland Protestant for the style. They want a "Christian Society" on their pattern, over the very long term. Racism, male headship. 1/4

Just playing. Dracula's Cycleway. It may cost you blood to get past through the barriers. I was quite surprised the photo worked - it was a handheld long exposure on a mobile phone.

@rantyhighwayman.bsky.social can I ask you a Q about White H-Lines as used across drop kerbs? If put across an entrance to a PRoW which has a drop kerb, 1 - Are they light on paperwork (ie no TRO)? 2 - Can Council Officers to enforce on parking/pavement parking, as a marking is then present? eg

A clip from Google Maps showing a pickup truck blocking the entry to a housing estate footpath/cycleway.

Matt Wardman @mattwardman.bsky.social · 24/03/2026

Here's a case where a footpath crosses a road, with little consideration for wheelchair users, elderly people and so on. This is quite recent - and has perhaps only been like hat for 15 years. I'm not convinced that being stentorian like this is a good technique. www.youtube.com/shorts/q2VYS...

I'm playing with some new technology - very impressed at the ease of making videoblogs compared to 2005. I need to sharpen the style for shorts & longs, & decide about scripts. * These are a couple of looks at anti-wheelchair barriers in my town. * Why are vlogs categorised like guns or trousers?

Indeedy-doody. But currently I have a freezer drawer full of chuckleberries, so it will be chuckleberry vinegar this time. They are a hybrid of redcurrent, gooseberry and blackcurrant - so are a little tart and need more sugar, or honey.
