I don’t want for a Labour loss at the next General, but we pay a price as a nation when the primary opposition is a shambles. Right now the Tory disarray is handing legitimacy and weight to an even further right, even less competent alternative.

Years ago I might have said the same. The MS is utter guff now and has been for a while.

She wants to invade for them, but the Joint Chiefs told her it would be… Kalamata-ous

It isn’t better that they are giving a platform to fellow idiots.

Means testing a winter fuel payment so it’s not being used to put down deposits on next years cruise isn’t exactly “pitting workers against pensioners” is it? But then the Morningstar is half ill-researched waffle, and half conspiracy theory nonsense.

Huh?

Why are you righting one of the most ardently left-wing places in the country off exactly?

Well the ratings are part of the evidence base used to justify CEO pay, which is why they are threatening this. Hard to say you personally deserve more money if the company has gone from 4-Star to 1-Star.

This is just one man’s take, but, Neds and Chavs aren’t quite the same (I grew up in Glasgow but have also lived south of the border for most of the last 18 years). Neds are criminals, Chavs are anti-social. The equivalent to Chavs in Scots would be Jakey, Bam, or Gadgie.

Bigoted Bill?

Where I lived in NL that was the case too. In fact, we considered Amsterdam quite disorganised by comparison. If every road in London lost two parking spaces for bike racks, and every lime bike had to be parked in one, the situation would be much improved. Ultimately you should have the same responsibility to park a Lime bike you would have to your own bike.

Honestly, I sympathise, but if car drivers, even Tesla drivers, acted like Lime riders, then we’d be furious. Lime riders too regularly conceptualise their journey as only impacting themselves, but active travel options need to exist within the societal ecosystem, and currently far too many aren’t. I live on a one way, and FAR too often I have had to stop my car to move one of these bikes that was “parked” mid-road, and another regular occurrence is moving bikes that are impeding access for disabled folks. Ultimately, Lime bikers need to feel some responsibility to their societal peers, and that so many don’t is a recurring issue.
