@mjr yes. My big bike fits in there just fine. Tandems don't fit tho.

Brompton in touring mode. Heading to the start of Race Around The Netherlands to check bikes and interview riders for Dotwatcher.cc

The UK establishment simply won't allow a true progressive to run things, which is why Corbyn had to be removed. Antisemitism was a good pretext to achieve that. So yes, what you have now is a Labour party that is Tory-lite.

With everything going in at Colombia University, and I’m just spitballing here, have we tried sending Kendall Jenner in with a crate of Pepsi? I seem to remember that worked once before. It was in the news and everything.

From now on when I read or watch news pieces and pundit discussions about “the economy” I’ll think of this…

Ooh. A new type of moron train passenger. Stands in the middle of the open doorway looking out, but doesn't get off, yet stops people getting on.

Sometimes the feeling I get about the future of the UK is that we have been an economic sponge that has been going through the process of being finally wrung out over the last decades before being thrown in to the dustbin of history.

Once any remaining value has been drained out of the country by whatever means we will be left picking up the pieces while the rapacious agents of our problems move on to focus more closely on another victim.

But, then I wonder whether I just need a bit more sleep

I have no words. Judge for yourself.

Road violence is way too common. We need to mandate ISA for all cars. Unnecessary big and heavy cars should be banned or taxed out of existence because they will be used as weapons.

I guess that when the BoE complains about workers attempts to repair their finances (via wage rises) as being inflationary, they're looking the other way from the London Stock Exchange boos who has just seen his pay double to £13m; that's merely a just reward for his hard work (despite serious problems at the LSEx).

These pesky workers on the other hand demanding wage rises to make up for their lowered standard of living - well that's just greedy.

Interest rate setters hypocrisy!

Happy Friday to all the reply guys saying how renewables are a terrible idea.

I hate to break it to you but >80% of new generation capacity built is now renewable energy, mainly solar and wind.

See the trend? Coal (black) and fossil gas (grey) getting squeezed more and more.

We report: we are having trouble making sense of the clouds today. Whenever we attempt to follow a swirl, the way it bends hurts our eyes, and we lose track of the shapes. The barometer has had a significant drop; we blame it for any strange behaviour we might witness.

@NatalyaD alas they removed all the special characters leaving drop table drivers to finish in 7th :(

The National Guard battling students on university campuses, the U.S. providing war matériel for a foreign war, and RFK on the presidential campaign trail.

We did it people, we invented the time machine.
