so we learned from yesterday’s discourse… there are a lot of arsehole cyclists in London (but killing somebody is a million to one chance)… arsehole drivers are the problem for the rest of the country and people are dying every single day - what’s the next step then, guys?

imagine taking a camper up to John o Groats and beyond to visit the North Eastern tip of Scotland, then finding that an allocated parking space had been stolen by someone with #carbrain who didn’t want a door opened onto their new toy. car ownership offers the freedom to hate every other road user

Reform’s chances at the next GE have literally not registered any change in the betting markets. Farage is correct: his voters don’t care about scandals. Jailing the bastard is the only answer
