Yes, I live in Amsterdam. And from July 2018 to Nov 2022 I lived in London, so I still talk about transport in London having walked, cycled, and caught PT to get around for fourish years. And before that I did a PhD in Australia on air pollution and was in Green politics.
It's the DOL so I expect them to tweet "Work makes you free" next.
The whole account is modern twists on Naz¡ slogans and explicitly political point scoring that falls far below the standard of professionalism and impartiality of a government department in any mature democracy.

Sometimes self-care is deleting 500 images from reports to the council about flytipping, illegally parked vehicles, and broken and obstructed pavements.

Highway Code doesn't grant automatic priority, which it's clear about. They're outside the signalled crossing, which has a red light anyway. The pedestrian has stepped into the path of the bike and doesn't seem to have checked properly for a break in traffic.

If you're the kind of driver who says that pavement parking is a failure of local authorities to keep up with demand for parking spaces (eg around schools, homes, outside neighbourhood shops) you don't get to call cyclists entitled.
Heartfelt gift vs conspicuous show of wealth.

Oh you've not heard of Suzanne Plugge? You mustn't be a real fan of Dutch musical bedtime stories.

Markets aside, how are people so lacking curiosity about where they live that they go with their prejudices and blame this on Sadiq Khan when it's a decision by the CoL? Hard to take them seriously about decline of Britishness when they can't be bothered knowing the difference.
This is incredibly sad.
The historic meat and fish markets of Smithfield and Billingsgate in London, which have been in operation for over 850 years, are being permanently shut down.
The City of London Corporation voted to withdraw their support for these markets, choosing instead to use the land for housing development.

What does it take to get a lifetime driving ban in the UK? This is now this drivers third ban after killing a child.
A speeding driver who killed a 12-year-old crossing the road, has been sentenced to eight years and nine months in jail and disqualified from driving for seven years.
He had 2 previous driving bans.

I did a couple raw milk posts this week, and a frequent comment was: “if babies can drink raw milk, why can’t adults?”
It shouldn’t need to be said but:
Human mothers are NOT cows. Human milk is NOT the same as cow milk.
NEVER give a human baby “raw” cow milk.

“If somebody doesn't help me, I'm going to die," she recalls wailing, watching doctors and nurses pass her by.
"Somebody said to me, 'I don't know what you expect me to do,'" she said. "'You're a healthy 21-year-old young female.'"
This is exactly what happened to me at 24… 🧵

“When you do testing to that extent, you’re going to find more people, you’re going to find more cases,” Trump said. “So I said to my people, ‘Slow the testing down, please.’ They test and they test.”
Yeah, a real mystery as to why autism rates are high.

We need advertising/marketing people if you are in that field PLEASE send a DM. We also need civil engineers.
I tell you, I'm not looking forward to Trump handing cabinet positions out as patronage and having the Senate approve them along party line votes.

Talking with one of the guys who trained AI to catch cops on camera lying hundreds of times rather than addressing legitimate complaints about dangerous illegal parking: hellgatenyc.com/ai-nypd-ille…
Bunch of Brits and Americans in the comments absolutely flipping out at the idea that they might not need to use a car every time they need a carton of milk or their kids need to get to school. This is in Utrecht, where pre-COVID you already had 40% of trips being made by bike...
Ok so great, Utrecht has alternatives in place already. The bike lanes are accessible by a wide range of demographics, not just fit young men who love risk. There's heavy and light rail, buses, and driving isn't actually banned. Emergency services will be able to access the place
