Imagine the howls of outrage if anyone proposed a pause on new motor traffic infrastructure until more drivers followed the Highway Code.

A pause on rolling out any further BSBs by TfL and boroughs until there is clear evidence of significantly improved Highway Code compliance by cyclists at zebra crossings serving existing BSBs.

Graph: Average meat consumption per person, in kg. Since 2005 it was roughly constant, then from 2018 through 2025 a steady fall from ~38 to now ~34

The number of separatists in Alberta is very small, but every single one of them will vote in the separation referendum. It’s critical that everyone who doesn’t want separation votes as well, or else this could easily be Canada’s own Brexit moment. Don’t assume anything. Vote.

The wealthy parents behind the curtain

A four-panel comic:

Panel 1: A magician on stage dressed in a tuxedo, flourising a top hat, tells the audience "And for my next trick ..."

Panel 2: The magician pulls a document titled "DEED" from his hat, and a woman with two children appears next to him, as he tells the audieince "I'll purchase a home on a single income while my partner stays at home to raise our kids!"

Panel 3: The audience applauses enthusiastically.

Panel 4: One audience member stands and points backstage, where an older man and woman are partiallyl seen holding a sack of money marked "$." The audience member shouts "I can see his parents financially assisting him behind the curtain!" The magician on stage has a guilty look on his face and drops his top hat.

The enlarged photograph shows a large-looking beetle of a dark, blue-green colour. It has a shiny carapace dotted with numerous pits and is facing the camera lens. Its two eyes, antennae tipped with tufts and spiny legs are visible. He has sparse hair around his head, which looks like a beard. The surface on which it is standing looks like a beige stone or dust.

On the one hand, some people want to make it so that kids and other people aren't crushed to death by cars. On the other hand, some people are upset that they might have to pay attention, slow down or be inconvenienced by about 15 seconds. So you can see how it's a "war on cars."
