“We’re just blocking these ambulances” We are now at the point where radicalised locals in Gosport are assigning ambulances according to race and abusing emergency workers.

I keep hearing that cyclists are the biggest threat to pedestrians. Perhaps then, we should ask drivers to share paths with pedestrians instead and give cyclists the roads? What's the worst that could happen?

Cyclists who kill can now be given a life sentence. On a totally unrelated topic, this female who killed two people while driving in excess of 90mph on an A roads, all while filmng herself on Snapchat, showing no remorse after the incident got six years and 8 months.
Woman filmed herself speeding and swerving for Snapchat – killed two people just THREE weeks after passing her test Liberty Mitchell, 21, from Chipping Norton, was driving her grey Mini Cooper at 96mph in a 60mph zone on the B4425 near Aldsworth, Gloucestershire, when she attempted to overtake three vehicles at once on December 2022. She aborted the manoeuvre too late, smashing into a taxi driven by Octavian Codreanu (who died at the scene) and passenger Moyra Whelan (a school teacher heading to a wedding), killing both instantly. Three other taxi passengers suffered horrific injuries including fractured hips, broken ribs, severe abdominal wounds and shattered bones; one survivor described endless trauma and survivor's guilt. Phone footage showed Mitchell gleefully filming herself speeding and swerving into oncoming traffic for social media, despite holding her licence for under three weeks. At Gloucester Crown Court, Judge Rupert Lowe sentenced her to six years and eight months (half in custody), branding her a "reckless and immature" teen with the "delusion" she was invulnerable; she was banned from driving for eight years and four months.

Here I am with Reform councillor Andrew Harrison, who was one of a group of people fined over £1m for employing illegal workers. Like all good patriots, he hates immigrants, apart from the ones he can exploit for profit.

No matter how many times I come to Denmark, it never ceases to amaze me just how many bikes/people cycling you see. This is outside a school:

🧵A @reformparty_uk Cllr has resigned after calling his neighbour, a Black British family the N-word, threatening to unleash the EDL on them, saying there’d be in “Black body bags.” This isn’t one man’s disgrace. It is a glimpse into the ugly soul of Reform UK.

If there was ever a cross stitch design perfect for Black Sheep Wools, this is it! Well, maybe if the sheep were black sheep, but we could change them. Such a fun design with a hint of festive! Would this be something you would stitch? Find the kit - ow.ly/Xmb750WxcIO
