I do understand not to jump to solutions, however, Bristol needs more substantial mass transit system than "just more buses". I can see London is looking at new unified west orbital train line, and we "might" get more buses. Where is the aspiration for the city? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

[scene is Winston Churchill in a bbc studio, giving his 'finest hour' speech]

1
CHURCHILL:
The whole fury and might of the enemy must very soon be turned on us. 

2
CHURCHILL:
Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this Island or lose the war.

3
CHURCHILL:
If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be free 
and the life of the world may move forward into broad, sun-

BBC PRESENTER:
Thank you prime minister 

4
BBC PRESENTER:
Mr hitler, your response?

5
HITLER [in the studio]:
Vell zis is hysterical woke nonsense as usual from mr Churchill

6
HITLER:
What we are proposing -

CHURCHILL:
Hang on

7
HITLER:
Let me finish - what we are proposing eez a simple power-sharing arrangement -

8
CHURCHILL:
What's he doing here

BBC PRESENTER:
It's important we hear both sides of the debate

9
CHURCHILL:
This isn't a debate 
You don't debate fascists

10
HITLER:
Oh here we go with ze Godwins law!

11
HITLER:
Why must you people always compare ze things you don't like to 'fascists, Nazis, Hitler'...

CHURCHILL:
Because you are a fascist Nazi Hit-

12
HITLER [standing up, saluting]:
RAUSS!

BBC PRESENTER:

Question. How do I / we stop Royal Mail putting litter through my letter box? Why are they allowed to put flyers & unaddressed junk mail through my door. I then recycle, and Bristol City Council has to process. I would get an desist order if put litter through Royal Mail's door.

It was bonkers they started the works along the GWR line to Bristol and the west country and then stopped. So now the network runs hybrid trains out of certain stations with all those complications.

Hard to think of a more deeply damaging start to Burnham’s premiership than giving green light to new oil & gas in N. Sea, if true. It won’t lower bills or lead to greater energy security but will drive an even hotter planet. What a terrible signal to give to rest of the world #ClimateVandalism

They could have spent this segment explaining the energy system to viewers so they could understand that the biggest reason we have such high bills is because gas - the most expensive form of energy - sets the price almost all of the time in the UK. Not plugging things in at the wall.

Britain is more than halfway towards reaching Net Zero. Most people don't realise this, not least as the fossil-fuel fanatics want us to think achieving it is impossible. Via YouGov


**UK public support net zero, but underestimate UK achievement to date**

"Thinking about the government's target to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050, how much progress, if any, do you think the UK has made towards achieving this target?"

**Long way / less than halfway** — 50%

**Don't know** — 28%

**Most of the way / More than halfway** — 8%

*All figures, unless otherwise stated, are from YouGov Plc. Total sample size was 2,040 adults. Fieldwork was undertaken between 17th - 18th June 2026. The survey was carried out online. The figures have been weighted and are representative of all GB adults (aged 18+)*

Agreed! Also think of all the glorious tram stations or mass transit station names Bristol could have if it ever got built. We would run out of names before running out of places it could stop. "The bit by IKEA" or "that road in Fishponds" Ah well... Maybe one day.

I often think about how so many cities are AGONIZING over the idea of turning a single street, or even a block, into a people-place and pedestrian stroll, while thriving communities like Gràcia in Barcelona are filled with networks of pedestrian streets and squares with no cars, or “tamed” cars.
