@rossathome @metoffice Do you only get your temperatures from non-airfield locations? You know that they know there’s an issue with taking temps by concrete? That’s why they have rules for it:
@hamishrhaddow @Keir_Starmer x.com/frasernelson/s…
...small boat crossings falling for first time in years...
@Alexarmstrong You don’t know about his well publicised criminal convictions, you’d need to look into that, but a few seconds later you’re an expert on what he didn’t say and are demanding evidence from the interviewee. Jesus wept.
@ricey63 @francesca_kms Which isn’t true. But you’ve just shown your hand. Most people can debate and reason without getting upset. The moment you insult and exaggerate you lose the argument.
@ricey63 @francesca_kms It is exactly that simple. Make alternatives amenable, affordable & safe to create space for people/journeys that require a car The hard part is the transition after 50+ yrs of ‘just one more lane’ thinking The central issue is avoidable, short & single occupancy car journeys
@ricey63 @francesca_kms It’s not a binary choice. Most people who cycle also drive. It’s about choosing the right tool for the job and your ability I’m not cycling to Bristol & I’m not driving to the gym.
@HenMazzig I’d recommend listening to @bbclysedoucet on @BBCr4today this past week. It’s a much better reflection of the situation in Iran & how excellent she is. It’s clearly more difficult to speak to people & give a true reflection of the situation on TV than on radio.
@Stephen33752561 @JohnJohnStewart @BobFromAccounts This is fascinating stuff Stephen. But back to the original point. Cycling infrastructure in London is disproportionate to its contribution to passenger transport: 2% is nowhere near enough if we’re to provide equitable transport options for everyone.
@JohnJohnStewart @Stephen33752561 @BobFromAccounts Massive public-transport-fan-John advocating for everything to make public transport better provided it only involves clamping down on bicycles.
@BroeerJ @TheEconomist Blue tick bloke in Denmark is an authority on London, more of an authority in fact than……the Economist. You earned €0.0001 for this? Have some dignity.
@Stephen33752561 @JohnJohnStewart @BobFromAccounts Milton Keynes - are you having a laugh? A town built specifically around cars. But good old medieval London: perfect for cars, custom made for them. The idiocy.
@JohnJohnStewart @danielmgmoylan Your plan is more buses without solving the real issue: too many cars. While it fits your weird prejudice to offer the catnip of cyclists causing bus delays. It’s patently evident they don’t. 2% LDN roads have bike lanes, public transport capacity +28% in 10 yrs.
@JohnJohnStewart @danielmgmoylan Great strategy: if we can just more of the same it’ll eventually work, won’t it John?
@william98024502 @Telegraph @CliveAslet No, Salvini had to backtrack almost immediately due to it being such an unworkable and expensive idea that had little to zero benefit.
@TRAK1812358 @Clutter2 @reformexposed Amazing. Your maths is worse than your English
@reformexposed Why are they so obsessed with micromanaging other peoples lives? It wasn’t so long ago they were vilifying young mothers. They were the reason for all of society’s ills apparently
