#Activetravel meeting fact 2: The bloke who cycled to the meeting in a helmet, lycra and high vis, in the dark and the rain is not anti-cycle lanes. He's a realist. The 20 people that have driven there and are now arguing with him expecting 100% infrastructure will never cycle in their own lifetime.

Labour aren't going to rebuild schools, so that's totally irrelevant

1. I'd lay on ferries and let them all come here safely. 2. I've got no problem with migration, the more the merrier. 3. Higher food prices are directly applicable to Brexit.

Explain with examples. It will make one thing harder to maintain: Tony Blair and other politicians evading a war crimes charge.

#activetravel meeting fact: The schoolkid who has to cycle fast everyday in all weathers regardless if there's a cycle path or not, has far more to contribute to the meeting than somebody who's preaching about cyclists slowing down when all they do is take their vintage bike to hipster coffee shops.

The only unifying characteristic of the balaclava inbreeds - unemployable. They're not tax payers. They won't understand tariffs.

Corbyn was just an attempt at Comfort washing oily New Labour. It failed. Polanski is in a different league to Corbyn

It doesn't have to be true or make sense. His cult are the least socially or politically aware dregs of society. He just has to tell them what they want to hear. It doesn't matter if he makes false promises. These idiots don't follow real news, so he'll never be exposed as far as they're concerned.

Don't believe the hype Labour just like Reform and the Tories have no intention of rejoining the EU. Why would a corrupt party want EU regulation?

140

So how are you going to fix the problems?

000

What do you think it should be about then? I bet you cant think of a single issue that Brexit did not make worse.

Have you tried watching Spider Noir? If AI could make it watchable, that would be something.

Unfortunately Trump is just the latest highly visible gross embodiment of fatcat neo-con alt-right religious American politics. It's not new, they've been doing it for decades, and it will co tinue with or without him.

What an arsehole that man is

020

The point is Labour are corrupt and have been since Blair who is still very influential. They are not a left wing party, they're rightwing capitalist grifters

100

Labour absolutely are not the people to form a regulatory body for media standards: Tony Blairs fake war on terror to steal oil. Starmers complicity in Israel committing a genocide. What more convincing do you need?!

100

At the top end: Tony Blair - global racist fatcat. At the bottom end Labour's modus operandi has been canvassing the long term unemployed, nodding along, telling them whatever they want to hear, even if now they've lost them to Reform, they still did the groundwork. The groundwork was tacit racism.

"Thinktank" - because politicians can't directly make unsubstantiated claims, but they can quote thinktanks.

What country are you in, what do you do and what is the scale and type of building projects you are involved in?

100

The phrase "hits different" in the context of parenting? Sociopath.

I can tell you don't actually work in construction or architecture.

000

A pro forma is a template, that's all. There's builders that follow an architects plan and build quality sustainable homes. There's builders that only want to work for shiny suited developers on footballers mansions. And there's developers and builders who only think about profit and build crap.

100

Do you have skin in the game (Developer), or is this your qualified opinion (Architect / Urban Planner / Building Surveyor). I suspect you're the former as you've oversimplified the topic. Building regulations, planning control & environmental control - necessary bureacracies protecting human life.

People that have never done legal legitimate work aren't bothered about sick pay.

If only Americans had realised this before all those wars to steal oil

When places like Henley on Thames smell permanently of raw sewage, they might realise what a bad idea this was.

That has to be some fringe elitist private inbred aristocrat school training the next generation of political psychopaths. There are no UK state schools on 60mph roads.

No Phd necessary. It's what the rest of the world learns at school. Basic Education. It's not censored in our schools, unlike the United States.

Native Americans didn’t cross an “ice bridge” or migrate “illegally.” It was 15,000-30,000 yrs ago! They crossed Beringia, a real exposed connected landmass, not ice. Borders and immigration laws didn't exist in prehistory. Settling unpopulated land makes them Indigenous, not illegal immigrants.

Love a paraphrase of Hunter S Thompson quote. The best one I've come across: "So now, less than 100 years later, you can go up on a hill in Yorkshire and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark - the place where Yorkshire told Lancashire enough is enough"

The main challenge will be to flip many labour voters, MPs, Labour donors, trade unionists and crony Tony Blair who all supported Brexit. Graham Stringer MP said this year: most of the Labour Party and trade unions were in favour of being out since 1975 and that he still holds the same principles.

Rolo @rolo-lines.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Farage is supported by the stupidest people in society who he's convinced that their lifelong ignorance is what makes them radical now. He doesn't need to defend Brexit, he just has to perpetuate a race war. Call it what it is, it's not a class struggle by disillusioned people. It's a racist cult.

Can I also highlight Kirsty Alsop [Opportunistic House Flipping but we'll call it Design] Syndrome: "I designed this visionary conversion!": = "I paid an architect I'm not going to mention. Then I paid a designer & craftspeople I'm not going to mention. Then I bought some overpriced cushions. Tada!"

040

I'll say it again. Tony Blair, Corporate Labour donors and most Trade Unions wanted out of Europe. Since leaving they've enjoyed having fewer regulations and less accountability. They don't want to rejoin so Labour won't rejoin. Oh, and Labour are complicit in genocide. Think for yourself.

000

Just like the owner of a car is a driver, a person that walks is a pedestrian, a rider of a bicycle is a cyclist. There's no need to divide our ranks by pigeonholing or discriminating against each other. The criteria for UK Active Travel funding requires the broadest distinction of cyclists.

Mudguards would be a more sensible option for the rain

Open any newspaper. Count the adverts by industry. At least 50% will be automotive. That's why. Very few industries still bother to advertise on paper. It's a dwindling market. Newspapers, whilst they still exist aren't going to promote bicycles. The bike industry don't pay for for full page ads.

000

The Kevin McCloud / Bakeoff / Sewing Bee syndrome: "I'm feeling very worried about this wealthy well educated person's rammed earth wall / flavour combination / overlocked hem."

050

There is no way that Tony Blair wants to rejoin the EU. There is no way that many labour corporate donors and trade unions will flipflop and want to rejoin the EU. Therefore Labour will not rejoin the EU because if they have to please that axis of self interest. It's not going to happen.

People in Gaza can't really wait much longer.

This is why nobody should bother with dead Twitter anymore.

The EU recognise that supplying arms to Israel is complicity in genocide. Andy doesn't.
