Seems the difference between ‘protestors’ and ‘terrorists’ is that protestors wear balaclavas while terrorists hold placards.

How is it that goals scored in a knockout competition *after you've been knocked out* count towards the golden boot?

The danger of using voxpops in place of real analysis. Cameras are a magnet for motivated activists. These two made it into four different reels + a dozen print pieces. The illusion is that we're getting an insight into "Clacton voters". In truth, we just know what Farage Megastans Jim & June think.

Major changes to the maps on #WillCycle. What changed? The back-end changed, and I can now make the full functionality of route maps available WITHOUT people being signed in. That means you can use the navigation (voice turn-by-turn guidance), treasure hunts, #FairyTrails & more completely for free

On #WillCycle, I have the best, most detailed traffic-free cycle route guides for the UK that there are, but the site is still very unknown. By 2028, I want WillCycle to be everyone's default choice for such route information. Will you help me get there? Please post links to the site everywhere?

Sorry Lisa, but if you reach straight for the usual tropes you clearly *are* an anti cycling bigot No wonder police seem institutionally biased when they have officials like you www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Dining across the divide: ‘I’m not anti cyclist. I’m anti cyclists who ignore red lights and drive three or four abreast in front of me’
One is a left-leaning tactical voter, and the other a Tory police and crime commissioner – they disagreed on the new Labour government, but were they any closer on cycling?

Exactly what I've been saying for years. Lime bikes are relatively expensive and PAYG. You're incentivised to ignore red lights - particularly ones in dedicated cycle infra which last absolutely ages compared to the motor lanes www.thetimes.com/life-style/h...
