When you have to share the road with homicidal lunatics driving lethal killing machines, they will cut you up or just drive straight over you without a second thought. And despite being in the wrong, they'll think you're the arsehole for being in their way. Never trust a driver.

A snapshot of how our justice system is failing road crash victims and their families: Redi Muzhaki, 22, from Coventry: - Caused grandmother Linda Boore's (pictured) death through his careless driving on the A46, hitting her car head-on - Critically injured her husband, the passenger - Had no driving licence or insurance He must pay £187 as a victim surcharge, do 200 hours of community service and is banned from driving for 2 years (he doesn't even have a licence now). His three suspended sentences, running concurrently, mean he will avoid jail time.

Carbrain evident on @BBCBreakfast today A driver losing control, breaking through a wall and ending up in a pool is not normal and shouldn’t receive such light attention. It should serve as a warning. The consequences could have been far more serious. 🧵

Sicily, today. A reminder that #climate system is indifferent to politics, negotiations & diplomacy. As it heats, this will get worse and worse until societies are overwhelmed & thrown in to a desperate scramble for survival. It’s really that simple.

What Charles won’t do is donate a few million to these charities or pay his taxes. The man is shameless. #AbolishTheMonarchy
The King will celebrate his 76th birthday today by formally opening the first Coronation Food Hub in Deptford, south east London, and a second hub or distribution centre for his surplus food project in Merseyside.

His only apparent achievement is being the son of someone who lived a long time after her dad died relatively young. Those are the only two factors that made him prince of wales for so long.
A very Happy Birthday to King Charles III who turns 76 today. Born at Buckingham Palace at 9.14pm on November 14th, 1948, he became the longest-serving Prince of Wales in British history on September 9th, 2017 after breaking a record previously set by Edward VII.

Trump has just appointed this woman Director of National Intelligence. A pro-Russian, pro-Putin mouthpiece. To remind you the UK shares intelligence with the US. Worse than worst case scenario.
Dear Presidents Putin, Zelensky, and Biden. It’s time to put geopolitics aside and embrace the spirit of aloha, respect and love, for the Ukrainian people by coming to an agreement that Ukraine will be a neutral country—i.e. no military alliance with NATO or Russia—thus...

Very important line here from @LouHaigh on road safety: "We treat road safety in a way as if it is somehow a natural accident. If the number of people being killed or seriously injured on our roads, were being killed in any other way, we'd be treating it as a pandemic."

Caroline Flack's mother calls for Keir Starmer to "find the courage" to continue the Leveson Inquiry into press corruption, as exclusive new YouGov polling finds voters back its return. Starmer abandoned support for Leveson 2 in the run up to the election bylinetimes.com/2024/11/12/p…

Interesting given the Senedd voted against this in principle a few weeks ago.
🚨 BREAKING: The Assisted Dying Bill has just been published in full - Must be a legal adult, resident in England or Wales, and registered with a GP for at least 12 months - Must have the mental capacity to make an informed, voluntary choice to end their life - Must be terminally ill with a life expectancy of six months or less - Required to make two signed declarations, witnessed, affirming their wish to die - Two independent doctors must confirm eligibility, with specialist and mental capacity assessments if needed - A High Court judge must review the case, hearing from at least one doctor and possibly the person and others involved - A seven-day gap is required between doctors’ assessments, with an additional 14-day reflection period after the judge’s ruling - For cases of imminent death, the 14-day reflection can be reduced to 48 hours - It would be illegal to pressure, coerce, or deceive someone into declaring a wish to end their life or self-administering an approved substance, with penalties of up to 14 years in prison - Excludes both disability and mental illness as eligibility criteria

Must say I preferred the world when the worst a mad entrepreneur could do was invent a weird little car and give kids an affordable introduction to computers.
